T-Ball at 5?


My little baw was developing 4 pitches by that age and finishing his first cycle of Tren.

You better get moving.

I’m probably in the minority, but I think you should spent this time on working with him personally, instead of putting him in organized sports. You can set fundamentals with him, and develop the base skills that will help excel by age 7 or so.

My son is 5 and we did basketball and teeball at the YMCA last year (when he was 4 and in preK). He had a blast at both

This year we did flag football at Traction, are currently doing basketball at TEAM Sportsplex, and will be doing teeball at Traction too.

Try to get with some other parents from your son’s school so he will know some of the kids already on his team. If you do that, he’s going to have a blast no matter where you sign him up.

I did T-ball at 4 or 5 through BREC.

I thinkt first basketball team was in the second grade through my school, but it was a YMCA league.

Soccer was through BRSA when I was six. I think our teams were organized through zip code.

It's been a few years but my son did T-ball at the Y with his friends off Siegen Lane. Healing Place has good youth programs as well. But like I said, it's been a little while for me.

Traction. They have a solid youth program with actual instructors who are employed by Traction and not random volunteer dads who played freshman high school ball and are trying to live out their glory days.

My son has played basketball with Upward for the past 5 years and has really enjoyed it.
