2. Baseball is a great sport
for children of any age.
From fostering teamwork
and self-worth to
providing regular exercise,
baseball is a perfect
activity your child can
enjoy.
When it comes to getting
your children started,
there are a few ways you
can help them prepare for
the season.

3. Equipping your child with the right gear is important
to keep them safe and allow them to perform in their
best condition.
Making sure your child has access to baseballs, a bat,
appropriate shoes, a helmet, gloves, and more can
help them get used to the equipment, give them an
opportunity to practice at home, and help protect
them from unnecessary injury.

Regularly playing catch with your child can help
them develop better hand-eye coordination and
get them accustomed to the natural motions of
throwing, pitching, and catching a ball.
Helping your child develop the ability to run,
sprint, slide, and field can help them prepare
their bodies for intense moments in the games.

Motivating your child is an essential part of preparing them for
team sports. Strive to praise the effort they expend. Doing so
helps them associate positive feelings not with victory but with
simply giving something a try and refusing to quit.
They will likely experience failure at some point. It’s important
for you to help foster a sense of self-worth beyond their
success; encourage their effort, and they will be more inclined
to keep practicing and improving their skills.
