[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of "travel baseball" here?

I'm not asking to be snarky or judgmental. We have a son who is 3 1/2 and some of his peers are starting to play organized sports. I'm not going to do this anytime soon for our son (if you think it's good for your child then you should absolutely do so) but I think our family's time would be better spent elsewhere.

I'm just trying to size up what's going to happen in the next five years or so. [/quote]

In our case, DS was playing rec ball and really enjoyed it, but it got to the point when he was 10 or so that many kids on his team each season had never played. Rec ball should always be instructional for any age kid who wants to try, but if you have a kid who really loves the game and has been playing for awhile, it can become frustrating. That's when we switched to travel. (And for many years, "travel" (in the NVBTL anyway) is not really travelling. It's a higher level of play and usually double headers on either Saturday or Sunday with an occasional regional tournament thrown in.

DS is at the high school level now and summer ball does involve travel to tournaments and showcases.[/quote]
