Reply to "I'm so glad I had my son skip.."

I have a similar situation were I have two sons 11,13. We had to play fall baseball at 14u and only two players were 14. After a 20 game season playing at 60'6" mounds and 90' bases. I'll be coaching our 12u majors next spring and my 11 year old(he'll be 12) and the four other kids that also played on the fall team, that'll also be 12, look at the 12u field like a tee-ball park. All five I honestly don't know how other teams are going to make contact when they pitch. The confidence in pitching and almost effortlessly way they drill the ball over the fence is going to be nothing but fun. We live in a small town population less then 6,000 and I'm going to be coaching 4 kids who can hit over 65 on the gun. It seemed to all be linked to jumping up to regular size field's then back to LL fields. I've been coaching in some way since all these kids were 8 and look forward to a break out season next spring. Three years ago when I suggested to our board that this group should be groomed for the majors division when they turn 12  all thought I was dreaming. Now they see it takes years to build top competitive teams and it's very possible even with a pool of 35 kids to pick from.
