i believe more good young athletes are turned off by the pressure of organized Little League that are helped. Little Leagues have no value as a training ground for baseball fundamentals. The instruction that age, under the pressure of an organized league program, creates more doubt and eliminates the nuturainess that is most important.
If I'm going to criticize such a popular program as Little League, I'd better have some thoughts on what changes I would Like to see.
First of all, I wouldn't start any programs until the school year is over. Any young student has enough of a schedule during the school year to keep busy.
These programs should be played in the afternoon--with a softball. Kids have a natural fear of a baseball ; it hurts when it hits you. A softball is bigger, easier to see and easier to hit. You get to run the bases more and there isn't as much danger of injury if one gets hit with the ball. Boy and girls could play together. Different teams would be chosen every day. The instructors would be young adults home from college, or high school graduates.The instructor could be the pitcher and the umpire at the same time.
