Making A Rag Ball
As most of you know I’m constantly tapping veteran parents for tips about anything I might encounter with my own kids. I ran into a friend of mine last week who is coaching a baseball team for his kids and I listened closely as he described how much he enjoys the “task”. It turns out that he put up a web site (prayforrain.us) which provides tips for parents of potential players and even potential coaches.
I especially liked the tip about using a Rag Ball to get started learning how to throw and catch. I imagine it can be used just as well to learn how to hit. The main points are that you won’t end up hurting anyone with a real ball and you get to actually spend more time tossing the thing around than chasing it down the street.
If you’re a parent with kids who will play baseball or if you plan on coaching, check out the site. I think you’ll find it very useful. Thanks Bret!
