My son played catcher for the Vipers 07-08. 14-15-16 year old. He was not on the team. Team needed a catcher for weekend/ days with multi games. Hot days behind the plate. We would show up catch a game hang around or sometimes leave. May stay and catch one or half a game on Sunday. Filled in at first base 1 game. Got a look or 2 from juco calhoun sneed bethel and somewhere Tn. It was fun he play at Troy UAH Alabama Bethel Auburn.got to see some nice fields and on a turf field or 2. He had a decent bat and no speed on the bases. Pop time wasn’t consistent for what was needed for a catcher to move on. Threw a few out stealing and lovetocatch one sleeping leading off first. Do what you can to get your kids exposed to what ever it may be sports fishing engineering space race cars mechanic. He loved the game.

My youngest played and if a bat and gloved was needed to start a fire he would donate his.
