[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rec baseball season is ending for the spring, but that's probably helpful in this case. If you're in N. Arlington, try doing a couple sessions at Ignite, outside of Ballston. A little one-on-one coaching on hitting, throwing and catching technique will be a good foundation. (He'll need his own glove, broken in.) From there, sign him up for a week or three of summer camp -- Arlington County, Falls Church City, and Fairfax all have rec camps. This will be good for him to learn the strategy and situational awareness of the game, which is so important when fielding and base-running. In the fall, depending on his age then he can register for a team in either Babe Ruth (which in Arlington goes through age 12) or Arlington Senior Babe Ruth (which is 13-18).[/quote] Fall is a great time to start. The Fall season for rec leagues is more relaxed and generally more developmentally focused.[/quote]
