I can only speak for here in Florida, but there are some pretty amazing 11:U's pitchers. And yes, they throw curveballs, sliders, knuckle curves, knuckle balls! I'm not a Dr. (nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express) so I won't comment on the effect on the arm, but I will tell you the comp teams are very very serious about their baseball...even at the 11:U level. It is no place for the faint hearted because these kids and coaches teach like it's high school. Also, I will say this, for the most part, the Coaches are pretty good. These aren't Little League coaches trying to relive their glory years. These are (for the most part) professional coaches and they know the game and how to develop the players.

What does that mean for the 11u arm? Let the debate begin.....
