WHY BASEBALL?

In today’s world youth wants to stay inside the home and play with electronic gadgets and it’s hard to get them moving. There are many reasons why Baseball is the best sport to play.

► It will teach them about working with a team When kids grow up, they will likely need to be a part of a team every day at work. But unfortunately, many kids don’t learn how to demonstrate teamwork when they’re younger. Baseball is a sport that requires teamwork during each and every inning. You need to be able to rely on others to do their job out on the field, and you also need to make sure you’re reliable and your teammates can trust you to do your job. From the moment your child starts playing baseball, their coach will preach about the values of teamwork and show your kid why teamwork is such a beneficial part of the game.

► It will show them the value of good sportsmanship There are going to be times when your child wins in life. There are also going to be times when they lose. They need to know how to act in both scenarios, and more importantly, they need to know how to be good sports. This is another thing your child isn’t going to be able to learn without experiencing both winning and losing from a
young age. Playing baseball will allow your child to see what the highs and lows of life feel like. It will also give you the chance to talk to your child about showing good sportsmanship at all times. It will show you how your kid handles winning and losing and allow you to step in and speak about the importance of treating everyone with respect, regardless of whether you win or lose a game.

► It will be, above all else, fun While all of the reasons listed here are important, this is really the most important one of all. Youth baseball can teach kids a lot about life. But at the end of the day, it’s the fun that kids have that they will remember for a long time. If your child doesn’t have enough fun in their life, sign them up for baseball. It won’t be long before they’re having a
great time every time they step on to the baseball diamond.
