You misunderstand....
I agree that curveballs hurt kids arms, and I am all for some sort of league legislation to curtail their use (for whatever league kids participate in).

What I am saying is that there are coaches out there that practice one thing,m then preach another under the auspices of the internet's anonymity. Additionally I was not referring to anyone on this particular board. I have just been to many little league, pony, USSSA, triplecrown, etc.. events (that I am sure you and many others on this board have been to as well), and I was commenting on the contradiction that 90%+ of 11 & 12 y/o pitchers I have seen offer up a curveball or some variation thereof, while at the same time, I see virtually nobody posting or commenting on the internet that this practice is OK.
