[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local Babe Ruth has travel integrated into the league. Does yours? That makes it a little easier to decide because you aren't leaving the organization.[/quote]

Ours does too, but at 10, all of the travel players are already playing majors 60 and they are required to play rec. So, at 10, your kid will be falling further and further behind by playing minors and only getting 2 games a week and 1 practice. The travel players get that plus another travel practice and a double header on Sundays. We are in Arlignton, and we know a bunch of kids who played on the A travel team who did not make their high school teams. It was pretty shocking to me. 
I think op gave good advice above. If your kid wants to play in hs at one of these big schools, they are going to need a lot more reps. A lot more. Tell them to get out there everyday and hit off a tee and throw with them. Start at 10 feet, back up and work up to 60’. That’s the base path length. It will help tremendously if they are good athletes and can catch and throw somewhat accurately. Our 10U team definitely has some kids on to who probably don’t deserve to be. With that being said, if your kid practices all summer, there’s a decent chance he could get one of the 2-3 openings for an 11u team that will start training in the winter.
