Start talking to your son right now about keeping his coach and especially YOU informed about how his arm, elbow and shoulder feel. Monitor this with him immediately after each game he pitches and also the day after. Make sure he knows it's OK to tell you exactly how he feels. It may sound overkill for a younger player but it's a good idea to build up that line of communication now. You would be amazed at the number of players that by the time they reach high school, will not let anyone know they are having arm trouble until it's become a big problem for them.
