Not much more that I can add. My 6 year old daughter plays softball and this year is coach pitch. We too got the bucket of soft rubber softballs and a good glove. She loves to swing the bat and catch knowing the ball can't really hurt her. Getting rid of the fear factor went a long ways towards improving her skills.
As for pitching, I would not recommend it for ANY kid. I pitched baseball in the old Babe Ruth league and hated the stress and the pain in my arm and shoulder after every game. Took most of the fun out of playing. The coaches are even worse now, trying to play their best pitcher game after game. They have changed the rules around here limiting the number of pitches a pitcher can throw in any one game before the pitcher has to be removed from the game.
