Fall 2024 Travel Baseball 10U DC/MD/VA

[Anonymous]

Hey there, I'm looking for a local (DC/MD/VA) 10U Travel Baseball organization for my son. Would rather have it be based in DC, or the close-in suburbs, but could also venture outside of the Beltway. I know we have missed most tryouts, but was wondering how to find teams that have openings on their roster. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Look for the teams listed under 10U. Contact coaches.

Popular ones in DC/Close-in suburbs:

WinWithin
DC Dynasty
BCC (BCC also has a tryout rec division called Select...it's not travel, but you have to "make" the league to play and then I think they draft or assign you to teams...may be a great option)

1). Play fall ball with your local little league. 2). Take the time and money you would have spent on travel ball and pay for high quality individual training lessons. 3). Repeat this until 13u when you can switch to travel ball and you are well on your way to having a high school player on your hands.

Travel Ball is important at 10 as it gives kids better competition in real game situations.

Stay away from DC Dynasty at that age level.

It may be somewhat useful, but not particularly important. I agree with PP if you have a decent LL (of which there are actually quite a few in the DMV).

At that age, your $1,000 spent on a travel team per season is much better spent on strong individual instruction (and lots of reps on your own).

Nope. Skills development is more important at this age. Can’t fix bad mechanics at 14U.

How fast does your son throw? What is his exit velocity?

Of course you can. College and even professionals still sometimes “fix” their mechanics.

You probably won’t play in HS if you show up with bad mechanics. At least not at any HS in the DMV that sends kids to play in college. There’s a lot of talent in the area and HS coaches don’t have the need or resources to fix little Johnnie’s swing that was fine for hitting bombs with a -10:bat in 12U. But can’t touch 80MPH with a BBCOR bat.

Disagree. Definitely sign up for rec fall ball in your area. Many teams for travel have residency requirements. Look at the nvtbl website.

My kid plays on a B team and they beat DCD by like 20 runs. I will say that their coaches seemed great.
