In a recent thread there was discussion on pitching injuries.
I didn't want to hijack that thread, so I'm starting this one.
All I want to know is how many pitches should I limit to my nine-year old son (and other kids for that matter) when he begins kid-pitch in the Fall.
After reading a lot of information on this site and others, I have arbitrarily selected forty pitches as my son's weekly limit in games. He would also throw two twenty-pitch sessions on off days. Add in a couple of long-toss sessions (maximum fifteen per session).
Oh, and did I mention he also wants to play catcher?
I know he probably shouldn't play pitcher and catcher in the same game.
To follow the thought from that other thread...Maybe I should go spend a night in a Holiday Inn Express
