Who is your favorite baseball team Mets or Yankees?
Not sure what you mean. I would include the player to the best of his/her ability. If you have a chance to talk to the parents, or you have personal information on the person, and get to know what the abilities of the player are. :) Then treat them no different.Youth Softball Instructional DVD - Girls?
talk to him very gently, but don't overbaby him, becuase the rest of the team will feel bad, treat him the same but if he needs help don't yell at him or anything. Ask his parents if you have any concerns of course.Can a baseball pitcher pitch a perfect game and loose?
Make like a dad. I forced my daughter into little league. It was a total disaster and I was so embarrased but the second year she had this wonderful local guy who was just so encouraging, understanding and supportive. She had seizures and was overprotected by our family but he gave her the strengh of an ox and the confidence of a pro. She even came out of her shell to be one of the best outfielders in town thanks to "dad".Can someone define to me what details as an earned run in baseball?
Just for thought, but does the league require a certain amount of playing time? I know that the one I played in did until age 13 or 14.Just let the kid play some. Honestly, I doubt that he/she is being forced into playing, he/she just really wants to enjoy a sport they love. Be nice, friendly, assuring, instill some confidence, and let the kid play his or her game.

By being patient. Talk with his parents, talk with his/er teachers, talk with everyone else who works with him/her, as long as his/her parents' give their permission for you to do so. That way, you'll get an accurate picture of what s/he is and isn't capable of doing, an accurate picture of how teachable and therefore how coachable s/he is, and you can work from there.Just remember that s/he may be a bit slower than the other kids, but s/he's still human. You'll have to keep reminding the others kids of that, too.

I think the best way is to treat him like you would any other child. just because someone has a handicap doesn't mean they should be treated different. Maybe you don't yell at him as much as you would the other kids and you give him a little more slack but treat him the same he'll respect you more then you think.More Questions & Answers...
