CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Baseball, with its emphasis on skill, strategy and teamwork, is ideal for young people...... According to the Sports Bureau of Beibei District in Chongqing, an MLB First Pitch class was launched at Zhuangyuan Primary School in Beibei District.

Under the guidance of MLB professional baseball coaches, students from Chongqing Beibei Zhuangyuan Primary School participated in a lively and interesting baseball sports class. Although they have never been exposed to baseball projects, the students still participated with enthusiasm. During the activity, everyone experienced the most basic baseball, passing, hitting, and running moves. The students on and off the field all imitated the coach’s demonstration action.

He hoped that children could have a preliminary understanding of baseball and experience the fun of baseball through the course, so as to stimulate their interest in baseball.
