Using Preschool Baseball To Teach Discipline

By Mara Boone


Kids are very quick on learning new things, especially when they are very young. They can learn to understand an entire language in just a couple of years. Because their minds are like sponges, lots of parents decide to put their kid into a sport program when they are young. Some things are better learned at a young age. For example, a person that is good at gymnastics will have started at a young age to be able to what they can do. Lots of parents are now choosing to put their child in preschool baseball. The goal is to try and teach their kids essential skills that they will need in life through preschool baseball.

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 taught through these programs. There would never be an argument from anyone how the importance of learning teamwork is essential in life. That is why the military disciplines soldiers about the importance of teamwork. Kids will learn that the results of working as a team outweigh the results of trying to do things alone.

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.

Kids will also stay healthy as they participate in the sport. Many kids today do not get enough exercise and because of that, we have a major obese problem in out country. People can blame it on the fast food industry and video games, but when a kid is getting involved in outdoor activities, those things will not matter much.

Kids will learn about competition when playing baseball. Many parents disagree when kids should learn about competition, but just like anything else, learning as soon as possible is best. We have all known the term sore-loser. Adults who are sore-losers never learned how to accept losing. Those who learn how to lose as kids will never have a problem accepting it as adults. They will shack it off and move on in life and try again.

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.

A preschool baseball program is nothing but beneficial for a kid. They will learn discipline, team work, goals and improve their health. Everything they learn will stay with them as they grow into teenagers and then adults.
