im all for training over games...but you are completely clueless


100% not clueless. I've coached for years. There is no need for kids who aren't in high school to spend that much time on one sport. They will not fall behind b/c other 3rd graders are playing ridiculous amounts of games. Kids will grow at different rates, and I've seen so many kids choose to stop playing towards the end of middle school and into high school. They either are burned out, or want to concentrate on other sports.

How about spending the summer swimming or playing tennis to give the arm a break while also strengthening it?

Just stop. This guy is teaching kids launch angles at 10 years old. He is right and everyone else is wrong. Don't even waste your time.

Nobody said don’t play other sports but you are clueless to the level the kids are playing at. You are I promise

Swimming doesn’t strengthen the arm and it’s more internal rotation, tennis is more rotation just like baseball. Same as if you were playing.


Again clueless
