Almost ten year old, how to help with goal of high school baseball?
My son turns ten in June and loves baseball. He wants to make his high school team. I love that he has a goal and something he’s passionate about.
He’s played rec baseball yearly since kindergarten. He’s now in AAA/ 4th grade. He’s always been in the 25% of players on his team, but never the best. He’s not that fast but he hits for power and can throw hard and far and is a solid fielder (3rd and 1st mostly). He also understands the rules/ has a high baseball IQ relative to others his age.
What should I be doing to help best set him up to potentially make that high school team down the road?
We play lots of catch at home and he’s been doing weekly batting private batting lessons (started a month or two ago).
Is travel ball needed to actually make a high school team these days?
