[quote=Anonymous]I lament how that little leagues age out so soon - there are still kids between 13-18 who would be interested in picking up baseball just for fun but there isn't as much structure and organization at the rec level. My kids tried out a lot of sports in their early elementary years - team and individual (soccer, swimming, gymnastics, martial arts) and are just now starting baseball. It seems that catching with a glove is probably the most important skill to become good at - my kids play catch with a foam ball indoors just to get enough repetition. And we go to the free batting cages to get some tee work and hitting in. We're also learning to juggle - 2 balls and then 3 balls - to improve hand-eye coordination. Last, when they do a multi-piece puzzle, they try to complete them as fast as possible[/quote]
