My youngest son, Caleb, has played baseball for Allen Sports Association, ASA, since he was 4. This spring will be his seventh season. He has been on the same team also. We love the baseball season, each fall and spring.
ASA has a great way to teach young players the game of baseball. Starting with t-ball, kids learn positions, what to do when you hit the ball, and how to play offensively and defensively. Gradually, players learn coach pitch, machine pitch and eventually kid pitch. They also have a gradual way to teach players outs, without zapping their confidence. The amount of time and energy that goes into preparing each player is impressive. Overall the players are showed they are valued and cared for. The umpires, coaches, and assistant coaches are encouraging and helpful. Personally, my son had his best season (6th) yet with 8 homeruns.
It is also impressive how the kids learn to be a team. They are motivated to cheer each other on, and help each other play their best. Teamwork is truly highlighted at ASA. I have seen my child encourage his team mates. They have developed into a team machine.
Parents are encouraged to be involved. Teams usually have a coach and assistant coaches that are dads of the
players. Other dads (and moms too) can be seen helping the coaches at practice prepare every child for the game. As for me, I have been a "mom in the dugout" for six seasons. I enjoy helping the players behind the scenes. After every season, there is an evaluation to get parent feedback. ASA is always looking for ways to improve the overall season of baseball.
We have had such a positive experience at ASA. Even though we live in McKinney, playing for Allen Sports Association has been worth the trip each and every time.
If you are a parent that wants your son to have a positive season in baseball, ASA is a venue to consider. My son loves it. As a parent, it has been a blessing. It is one more opportunity for my son and I to bond and enjoy each other.
Hurry, they are registering new and returning players now through February 19th. Click here for the link.
Take them out to the ballgame,
