Enrolled youngest in rec baseball league

We've been a soccer family but I wanted him to try. Must say so far, I'm not the most encouraged. Everything seems geared toward the kids that have been playing long term and summer tournys. Season seems super compressed and they won't practice once it starts. I wouldn't say he's being neglected but kids that already have skills don't need as much coaching time as they are getting. Looks like they are going to stick him in right field where he probably wont get a lot of action and will struggle to jold his attention. Am I being too pessimistic? ** Edited by One4VT at 3/20/2023, 2:11:19 PM

I think the right field gets more action than left field in the early years**

It's tough when there's a mix of player experience...

I'd say. Not even a year old so yeah the attention span is bad :-)
