5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For, June 10, 2003 My husband is a baseball fanatic. He was so excited when our son was old enough to start playing baseball. At six, Matt was ready to play, the problem, he didn't seem interested in the game. We stumbled across "The Littlest Leaguers Learn to Play Baseball" and bought it for Matt. He loved it. Matthew was so eager to play baseball by the time the first practice came around. It really made a difference! 4.0 out of 5 stars Great for starters..., June 9, 2007 ...they'll likely end up being team starters! I first saw this at a friend's house and had to buy it for my son, even though he's almost outgrown it. It's a fun little flick especially for kids just starting out (4-7 age range)...obviously useful for softball or T-ball as well. My son loves this movie. It's kind of silly but it's cute. I recommend it for any little ones who are interested in learning about baseball. I borrowed this from the library a week ago. I almost didn't check it out, as it looked a bit corny . . . not as polished as so many other soccer dvds. I was quite surprised when my 5-year-old son, who has a spring and fall soccer season under his belt, starting watching it over and over again. Then my 9-year-old got hooked. They both were rolling with laughter over the "corny" jokes made by the animated soccer balls. My youngest was watching for the first time. About 20 minutes into the program he got up, went out into the dark backyard and returned carrying two cones and his soccer ball. He set the cones up in front of the tv and started working on the moves demonstrated in the video. I have a stack of professional coaching dvds. I have tried to show my kids different moves demonstrated on video but they haven't shown much interest. However, they really got hooked by these Littlest Leaguers. I think it because the moves aren't polished. The moves are demonstrated by little kids just like my kids. They are not super stars (or movie stars); they are just normal neighborhood kids. This review comes from a soccer family. I'm writing it because I'm really impressed on how much impact it had on my kids -- kids who are growing up in a home with professional soccer on the television at least every weekend. This video conveys the basics of the game in terms kids can understand. I purchased this video for my 3 year old daughter and myself as I was volunteering to coach her soccer team. I was amazed at how she was singing all the songs because they were so catchy and implementing what she saw out on the field. Of course it taught her the very basics, and that was fine with me. I even went as far as purchasing a few for the 3 and 4 year olds on my team and their parents had the same response as me. I wouldn't really recommend this for kids over 5/6.
