Please, I'm begging you. If you have a son or daughter and you've signed them up for baseball, please take some time, go outside with them and teach them how to catch a ball and swing a bat.
Especially if you have a daughter. I am 46 years old and I still play in local softball leagues. One of my favortite leagues is the coed league, but we have trouble getting enough girls. I made sure my daughter played every year from t-ball up through last year. She is now in middle school and doing track so that is fine. But she can play and not embarrass herself in a pickup game.
Softball is a game you can play well into your 50's and 60's so make sure the kids have a good foundation. Taking them out and playing catch is one of the best ways to give them confidence.
Good post/topic!
