What are the best hitting lessons for kids?
Short, focused lessons that teach one skill at a time, with a simple game and a parent or coach helping. For ages 7–12, 10–20 minutes a day of quality reps beats an hour of random swings.
Are online hitting lessons good for kids?
Yes, when a parent or coach helps set up safe practice and the lessons are short and age-appropriate. 46/60 Academy’s online hitting lessons for kids are built for ages 7–12 and can be done at home.
What age should kids start hitting lessons?
Most kids are ready for structured youth hitting lessons around 7 or 8, when they can follow a simple cue and enjoy a short practice game. Keep it fun and short.
