re: 4 Year Old TBall Practice

Last night my daughter's 6U softball team had their first game. When I met the other team's coach before the game to exchange line-ups he mentioned that he had a girl on his team that had just turned 3! I asked him what he meant by "just turned" and he said her birthday was like two weeks ago. So basically this girl is just over 2 yrs old and they've got her out there playing 6U softball (they get 3 pitches from a coach then 2 tries off the tee).

When it was this girl's at-bat I see her come up to the plate and the first thing I notice is the bat is as long as she is tall. They give her three pitches and she never moves of course. They then set up the tee for her and the poor girl can't even swing the bat more than a few inches. For the life of me I can't figure out what the hell her parent(s) are thinking having her out there. She's still in freaking pull-ups and they're trying to get her to play softball.
