Reply to "HBO: "Real Sports""

I have not seen this HBO Show, but want to share something that I heard two years ago during a USA Baseball meeting.

The USA Baseball medical staff suggested, if not urged, coaches to have youngsters in the 10-14 age group play a variety of sports - not just baseball.

This allows them to work on different muscles; while trying to find the sport that they are best suited for. Also, there is less burnout when youngsters play different sports than if they play one sport all year round.

The above came from USA Baseball. It may be something to think about.

I also agree with Dad04 about the Little League pitching rules being a joke. The USA Baseball medical team suggested pitch counts and days rest (which I don't have with me now), but it was not pitchign every other day. It was like every fourth or fifth day at the most.
