Now days 10U teams have portable speakers w/ walk-up songs, top of the line uni’s, win rings for a tournament. I remember when those were things as little leaguers we dreamed of when we got older.. Best part of All-Stars was getting fitted hats.. Now what do they look forward to?

A player may make a play you don’t work on, but he can’t be expected to. Small clip from our rolled series of the 6-4-3 & 4-6-3 “specials”. Sometimes the only option may be a glove flip, barehand, etc. Allow players the freedom to explore these options & have some fun! #InfieldU
