Does he play PAL? Can he catch and throw? Ever been to a clinic? There has to be someone you know that has and has seen him play with some experience to help you figure it out. I will say that even with all of the muck you read on this board, when you actually ask someone for help, most (not all) go out of the way to steer you the right way.

Even a couple of years ago you could try out for teams inexpensively (including Legacy for FREE 2 years ago), now it costs 50 - 100 bucks, so choose wisely and realistically. You and your boy do not need an expensive lesson.
