I echo above the general sentiment from posters who have been through the baseball journey. Make sure your son is having fun, with friends and gets exposed to other sports, activities and family.

What I will add, is that coaching becomes very important at 12/13/14. Coaches that teach the fundamentals, how to play and respect the game and opponents and that can instill the value of hard work to reach a goal, as well as how to compete and how to handle adversity. Those qualities will apply to much more than baseball.

But none of it is worth it if it isn't fun for your son.
