You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, Go play with your brothers. If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.
