Reply to "Old Timers, Please Weigh In!"

My kids are in college now; so what I am saying comes from what we say at that age.

It was not uncommon for kids that played ball to start falling by the wayside about age 14. The reasons varied; some it was a social thing, some it was girls, others picked up new sports.

At age 14 my son wanted to play on as many teams as possible. Yet that was my guy; each kiddo is different and you as his parents will know him best.

My one set of advice, is don't worry about the future and the level of play. At age 14 it should be fun; competition, skills and your son will dictate what his future holds for him in baseball.

As a good student; if he maintains his focus he will have all kinds of opportunities in college, with or without baseball. As for now; it should be fun, if that means staying close to home, playing with friends, that is OK. Listen to your son, you will know what he "really means" to say.
