This website is dedicated to youth baseball and provides information on selecting equipment, hitting, pitching and coaching. Encourage your child to participate in youth baseball!
When you think of youth baseball, Little League baseball immediately comes to mind. Started in 1939 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania by Carl E. Stotz, Bert and George Bebble, Little League is an international baseball organization for children between the ages of five and 16 years. Little League is by far the world's most extensive youth baseball organization, with nearly 200,000 teams in all 50 U.S. states and 80 countries. However, these days there are many other youth baseball organizations such as high school programs, church groups as well as national organizations like American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball (DYB), Dizzy Dean Baseball, and National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) just to name a few. All of these organizations are dedicated to helping children grow as people. Youth baseball stresses enjoyment, health, teamwork, sportsmanship, skill development and character development. The goal is to create a positive environment that fosters improved self-esteem, self-confidence and enrich the lives of not only the players but the parents as well.
While parents are usually very happy that their child is interested in playing youth baseball, they might not know enough about baseball to help their child. Of course, the best way for a child to improve is to practice; however, no matter how much practice your child does, he won't succeed unless he's practicing the right techniques. It's not as simple as throwing a ball, or just picking up any bat and hitting a ball. That's where this website comes in. We are dedicated to youth baseball and will provide information on how to select the right equipment such as baseball bats and baseball gloves, or deciding between an aluminum or composite bat. We'll also help with tips on pitching and hitting. Resources will also be provided to help with coaching and baseball drills.
With the right knowledge, youth baseball can be as much fun for the parent as for the child!
