Teach Baseball Skills

By: Anthony Brianna

The best thing you can do in teaching youth baseball to instill good fundamentals is to play catch with your child regularly. It is good quality one-on-one time and you will be surprised at how quickly your child will begin to develop good skills.

In today's world, the advantages of playing Wiffle Ball to teach our kids are even more apparent and appropriate.

Baseball can hurt!

Children can play in small groups and are less intimidated to learn (and embarrass themselves)

My neighbor's wanted their children to learn baseball but hesitated to enroll them in an organized league. I invited the whole family to play "Wiffle" in our backyard. Although the neighbors weren't very successful hitting the ball at first, there was no sign of intimidation or embarrassment. We've all played a couple more then and boy have they improved.

Wiffle Balls come in softball size too!

Using the larger can instill confidence in hitting (it's easier to hit a bigger ball!)

Wiffle Ball bats are lighter and easier to swing!

One size fits all - whether you're 9 or 99.

Catching Wiffle Balls doesn't require a baseball glove!
