[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us your high school and we can give you a much better answer. My kids go to Madison in Vienna. I'd say your kids would have slim to no chance here no matter what you do now unless they are just super athletes. Baseball is a sport many kids start at 4 or 5 years old. [/quote]

Get a grip! The top public high schools for baseball and even WCAC schools in DMV have rosters loaded with players who do not play high level travel baseball or who focus on other sports. The coaches who develop those players in 9th and 10th grades build the best programs. Any travel baseball beyond the NVTBL-type before 13 or in most cases even 15 is a total waste of time and money that should be dedicated to baseball skill development. [/quote]

None of the starters on WCAC teams did not play travel when 13-14.  Almost none of the players on the good WCAC teams (ie anyone other than The Heights) play another sport.  This really goes for all sports, not just baseball.

You are very wrong on player development.  Having a kid going through SJC, there is little player development.  The coaches are really just managing…most development is done with personal paid coaching/trainers.[/quote]
