Question:

I am a tee ball coach and have intentions of coaching throughout my son’s playing days. I hear of 7-8 year old select teams practicing or having a game (sometimes doubleheaders) 7 days a week. Is that normal? It seems too much for any age.

Answer:

That type of game schedule is too much for that age level if you are looking to keep the game fun to the kids. The kind of schedule is more for the adult coaches to feed their ego. Three games a week with two practices, teaching the fundamentals that the kids do not understand. Teaching the game so the kids will have a chance to have fun and play the game correctly. That type of game schedual is too much for that age level if you are looking to keep the game fun for the kids. The kind of schedual is more for the adult coaches to feed their ego.
