I started with the fundamentals like fielding ground balls and situational base running

Didn’t teach my kids and they’re fine with that.

Little girl is almost 8 months. Her fastball only tops out around 91, but we're getting her Tommy John for her first birthday.

We leave batting to the plebes.

Jaxxon was taking BP at 18 months. Not trying for power, just working on a consistent fundamental swing.

I have a 2 year old and 4 year old boy. I started at 2. I don’t even plan on signing them up for tball, it’s just fun to hit a ball. The two year old uses the T but the 4 year old wants me to throw to him. Any excuse to be outside is good for me.

About 4 for my son and 6 for my daughter. She wasn’t into softball and did other things but now wants to try. My son started swinging whenever he saw his sister doing it.

Got a bit of a late jump. Mine just turned 6 in November and weve been taking lessons and working at home.

We’re learning together, actually. Articulating what I know to a 6 year old without getting frustrated is the hardest part. The best part is seeing him improve little by little.

My daughter got a tee ball set for her 2nd birthday. She hits the ball almost everytime. I'm pretty happy with that

Started goofing around at a little over 2. Not really worrying about form or anything. My 4.5 year old is doing tball this summer, so we'll get into that a little more pretty soon.
