[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

My son turned 9 in April (2016 birth year) and has been playing rec baseball for a couple of seasons. He really enjoys it and wants to try travel ball for the first time. We live in the West Springfield High School pyramid, and we’re not necessarily aiming for a college career, just looking for a fun program that will help him develop.

We’ve heard of a few travel baseball programs in Northern Virginia, like the Fairfax Stars, Burke Bulldogs, SoCo Colts, and I’m sure there are others we’ve missed. For those of you with experience in these or other local travel teams, could you share your pros and cons?

Specifically, we’d love to hear about:

- Quality of coaching and training

- Balance between winning and player development

- Parental involvement (e.g., paid coaches vs. dad ball)

- Travel demands and time commitment

- How they handle playing time and position rotations for younger kids

Any recommendations for a 9-year-old new to travel baseball would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your insights![/quote]
