Your kid is going to love playing 5-Pitch Plucky (regardless of what skill level). It's SO MUCH FUN! We've modified the rules just a bit so that one, 80-minute game gives ballplayers 4X more at-bats than a typical youth baseball game. More at-bats create more balls-in-play and that makes baseball more fun. This is a "baseball merry-go-round." We're doing to baseball what Topgolf did to bring more people to the game.
The National Alliance for Youth Sports discovered that around 70% of kids in the United States stop playing organized sports by the age of 13 because “it’s just not fun anymore.”
In a different study, nine of 10 kids said "fun" is the main reason they participate. When asked to define "fun," they offered up 81 reasons. “Winning” came in at #48. Young girls gave “winning” the lowest ratings. Six out of 10 kids said they quit sports because they lost interest.
Participation in youth baseball and softball has declined 1-2 percent every year, says Patrick Wilson, Little League’s senior vice president of operations. “There is a generation of parents now that don’t have a connection to the game because they didn’t play it themselves, and if you didn’t play, you’re less likely to go out in the back yard and have a catch.”
Even some baseball insiders admit that baseball isn’t the most exciting sport to play or watch as Andrew Pollak writes in Inside Pitch, “Time to face the truth. The best game can become boring.” In fact, a typical three-hour long MLB contains just under 18 minutes of actual playing time. Attend a youth baseball or softball game and you’d be hard-pressed to experience even half of that. This is an unfortunate reality.
