Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4423448, member: 874"] The point is, kids shouldn't be specializing at young ages. Get rid of the off season specialized coaches and the year round training at least until kids are older. There are kids playing one sport year round as early as 8 or 10. There are parents hiring specialized coaches and strength ane conditioning coaches for kids that young. Others are playing two sports at once because there is overlap with one youth league sport and a different school season sport. Young developing bodies need rest, even into high school. Dr, James Andrews said high school baseball pitchers should have 3 months per year they don't throw a ball, any kind of ball. I believe he also said he doesn't believe a kid should specialize in one sport until their senior year of high school. We should not be sacrificing our kids on the alter of sports. [/QUOTE]
