NEVER GROW UP!!!

The Ryan Douglass Field of Dreams Baseball Clinics are for 6-12 year old children (but won’t turn older or younger children away who are there) and consists of hitting, pitching, fielding, and base running instructions. These clinics are held at various athletic associations around the Pittsburgh area. These clinics help to encourage and increase children’s interest in baseball/softball and also give them the self esteem they need for teamwork concepts. The children that participate will learn the correct fundamentals for baseball/softball for future use and an overall knowledge of the sport.

Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
C.S. Lewis
