Using Preschool Baseball To Teach Discipline

By Mara Boone


When kids are young, their brains are like a sponge as they absorb and learn things very fast. This includes learning a language and other complicated things that adults frequently have a difficult time with. Many parents who want their kids to flourish in a sport will usually start them out young. For example, gymnastics is something that a person will have to start at a very young age to become successful at. Many parents are now enrolling their kids into preschool baseball programs to teach them the fundamentals of the game.

The goal of these parents is not to transform their child into the next baseball superstar. The goal is instead to implement the skills that a child learns though baseball into real life. These skills and attributes of a child become very noticeable through sports play.

Teamwork is a very important skill to have as an adult. By being part of a team, a kid will learn that by working as a team, chances of success increase. They will learn what their responsibilities are on the team and how to trust teammates.

Setting goals is also something very important for adults. As a member of a baseball team, a child will set goals to improve their play to help their team. As they practice, they will get better and better at hitting and catching. They will feel so proud of themselves once they reach their goals.

Health is an important issue in today's society. Obesity is a major problem with many of today's kids as they no longer get the exercise that kids of the past got. A full discussion can be made about this topic but lots of it has to do with the fast food industry, too much television and video games. By participating in preschool baseball, a kid will get more than enough exercise to keep their body healthy.

Learning about how competition works is something that kids will grasp. They will learn that they do not always win at everything. We have all seen people in our lives who were declared to be a sore-loser by others. They would get angry anytime they lost. When this happens, they are only hurting themselves. Kids who play sports will learn how to deal with losing and will realize that they will lose many times in life. They will learn how to move on in life and try to improve.

Besides everything that has been talked about so far, kids will have fun playing baseball. Having kids enrolled in activities is something that is great for a kid's well being. They will learn how to interact with teammates and opposing players and will learn how to have fun whether they win or lose.

Preschool baseball is used by many parents to teach their kids essential skills in life. The importance of goal setting, working hard, staying disciplined and staying healthy will never be forgotten. Everything they learn will benefit them their entire lives.
