You can overuse their arms. If your kid is not a pitcher, it doesn’t matter as much. Also, even if your kid loooooves baseball, they can get burnt out. It doesn’t happen often in my house, but it’s here this year.

Any good baseball facility is working on arm care, hitting, strength, and speed in the winter. Any throwing related work should be flexibility and strength, not actual throwing. We’ve been to several of these facilities and their programs are all about arm health. Kids should be fine to participate in that type of training over the winter (if that’s what they’re dying to do at that young age)
