851399_001Step right into that swing with Step2’s new “Home Run Baseball Trainer” with its zig zag ball delivery, players could anticipate when the ball would drop and were more successful. Just tap the release lever with your bat and wait to slam the ball. Fill the base with sand or water for stabilization and fit your water balls in the spots. All the neighborhood kids lined up and couldn’t wait for a turn, from 5-10 years old. This stand-alone sports trainer allows for kids to have a pick up game of baseball without dragging mom or dad out to pitch. With just the kids engaged, they had to make their own rules, manage turns and even designate those to fetch the balls in the bushes. Outdoor play is healthy and great for social language skills as kids learn to effectively negotiate, plan and and solve problems as they keep the game going. All I can say is, nobody wanted to go home when mom called them, one little friend declared, “I LOVE baseball,” while another asked it he could come back when we do it again!

Bat and 4 balls included.
