To Play Or Not To Play? That Is The Question

"Is 16 too late to start playing baseball?

  • Daron asked
I've heard that if you don't play a sport at a really young age you won't be as good the ones that did i mean i did play baseball at a young age but never really joined a team just played with some friends at a sandlot everyday but i want to know if joining a team at this age is a waste of time or should i go for it?"

my response:
Join a competitive team that plays against other competitive teams? From my experience the coach is obligated to put the most competitive team on the field because he owes it to his opponents, etc. You would not get much playing time in that scenario, but if it's a casual, just play for fun league (if that sort of thing actually exists)...then, absolutely, join that team to learn the game w/o pressure until you're ready for the next level.
