TODDS,
Agree, but mainly because there is still so much work to do teaching good defense and mechanics at 8U. If you get that right then the rest will come. The kids will need to see some kid pitch at the end of the year and work hard in the fall to be ready for 9U.
If your team is truly sound on the basics, then kid pitch is OK.
Besides CP is so much faster and more exciting for the kids at that age, let them enjoy it.
I do not think my sons team will follow my opinion, but I am not the coach and we will go along with the team. |
