Level 2 or more
The most important part of effective learning is to have instructors who understand how kids learn. ACES instructors know how teach the kids how to play the game. Playing the game at a high level as an adult doesn’t mean that you can teach a 10-year-old girl how to hit a ball. Good players don’t always make good coaches, just as good coaches don’t always make good players. Our instructors have worked with young kids for many years and understand what is required to teach the kids the game of softball.
