Agree. Seeing a bunch of kids from 1 school, with post surgery boots and braces on has got to be an indication of misuse or overuse, not purely accidental.

I said this exact thing 2 nights ago to a good friend while watching our girls play basketball. No brag...our daughter is one of the best athletes on the team, if not the best. Other father was complimenting her. I said that she loves to play.

Play.

3 sports. Summers off. You often see those on the courts with that look of a dog focussed on a frisbee and wonder if they really enjoy it.

Let them play. Give em a break (not the literal kind that requires surgery).

He didn't complain when he did my surgeries.

They should be more concerned with teaching the kids proper mechanics instead of worrying about overuse.

Some other countries throw 500-600 balls a day, no issues. We get in a hoopla over 70+ from the mound?

Pussification, teach proper mechanics and you have no issues.

Anyone know the cost breakdowns for something like playing baseball year round? What is it to join the leagues? I can only imagine it has to get expensive with gear, hotels, etc.
