You shouldn't be hitting children.

You need to seek help.

Lol. If you need hitting lessons at 10, you either aren’t very good or you are being a parent who is trying to get your kid a college scholarship at 10. (They don’t exist at the D1 level.) Buy a tee or take your kid to the batting cage and let them take some cuts and save your money to take the kid to the movies or the water park or something. Is not worth it.

Scholarships. Outside of like 33% scholarships. If you want a full scholarship you must go JuCo.

So spend your money on a tutor. You are more likely to get an educational scholarship than a baseball one.

Absolutely incorrect and spoken by someone I can only assume has no idea what they are talking about.


8/9 is a perfect age to start to develop great fundamentals and a great swing. Some kids have it naturally, but most do not. They will teach your child, and you, a number of really great drills to practice at home. I have no ambitions of my kid making it big, but have no problem helping him be the best he can be with his talents. He enjoys going once a week and it has helped him. $100 is steep. I pay $35 for a half hour once a week. More than a half hour of swinging a bat non stop is rough on a kid. Unless they are one of the 1000's of travel ball phenoms around.

ETA - its impossible to pitch your kid constant strikes from a pitchers mound, in a cage, while you sit next to them like a batting coach will and tell them things to work on each swing. These coaches have high school players they pay to do this while they work on the swing.

40-50 per half hour is standard.

Absolutely not. Kids cannot tighten up a swing until after they hit puberty and start to fill out. As a kid grows it takes time to understand their body and relearn their swing. Anything they learn before puberty they will have to relearn at 15-16 when they understand their body. And I know a lot more about baseball than you. I promise.
