My son wants to play year round. Surprisingly, a lot of kids do too.
He played town all stars last summer then he just kind of...waited for spring.
This year he tried out for and was offered a spot on a 10U AAU baseball team that chooses kids selectively instead of taking everyone and charging them all 3,000 dollars. Our kids will pay around $800 all in for winter spring and summer baseball. I also decided to help out with coaching duties when they requested one more volunteer coach.
The parents and kids have come together really nicely. The goal is, if these kids have fun, learn and feel like the season was a success, they will stay together as much as possible to play 11U together next year.
Anyhow, the team is short one good arm, so I am reaching out to the SoSH community to see if anyone is interested (feel free to respond inline or via PM).
Needed: one pitcher for 10U AAU which is made up of a group of players who were all stars for their respective town summer league teams.
Player should:
-- be 10 years old or younger on May 1, 2020.
-- want to play winter spring and summer of this year (winter is indoor practice 90 minutes once per week).
-- be confident taking the ball for around 4 innings once a weekend (more/less depending on pitch count).
-- be ready to learn; coaches take things a step above what most of us see in our town little leagues, and practices are more serious.
-- be ready to play infield/outfield when not on the mound (we have two catchers, but catching is also a possibility).
I'm sure I've forgotten one or more details here, so hit me up with any questions if interested.
We have 10, we want to carry 11, and we need that extra arm (FYI, we don't advocate the curveball at this age, but a lot of the kids throw fastball/changeup).
Thanks,
NMF
