re: Traction T-Ball BR?

We did the whole baseball thing with our oldest son from 4 years old until 7th grade. Only 2 years of “Allstar” travel team. Did private lessons one year. It was ridiculous.

We aren’t doing it with our second son. We decided to wait until he’s old enough to play on a basketball team at RedStorm, (Third grade). then he’ll play basketball on the 5th grade team at his school. I don’t think they try out for basketball at school until 6th grade. He wants to play football too. I think that starts in 4th at his school. My guilt of not putting him in baseball is likely why I’m listing all that out.

Our oldest son who did the baseball thing for 10 years and played football through his sophomore year thinks we are bad parents for not putting our 2nd son in baseball.

Baseball bores me to tears, and my days of chasing toddlers around at ballparks are over. I’ve done it for 16 years. This year i chased our 5th kid around football stadiums and volleyball games. After the last volleyball game this year I thought to myself, “It’s official! I’m officially done with chasing a toddler at any type of sporting event, ever!”

When our second son is old enough to start basketball at redstorm, our toddler will be 4 and a half - totally manageable.

Anyway, you say you wont travel. But If the coaches think he’s good enough and ask him to, it’ll be hard to tell him no. My son liked it at first. but after the second travel summer, he was over it.
