[quote=Anonymous]Huge fan of Koa BABL. It's much better than BCC rec for a few reasons:

1. The kids are all much more engaged and focused on the game. 
2. The level of play is much higher. Everyone can competently catch, throw, and hit. In 10U, 85% of IF grounders and IF flies produce an out (and near 100% if to pitcher/2B), and OF flies get snagged 50% of the time. Pitching quality varies considerably by team, however. 
3. The professional coaching is very good. The coaches take the time to teach things like proper footwork for fielding and getting good angles while running the bases. 
4. KOA makes the kids feel like big leaguers: they practice on a huge HS sports field, they play some games at night under the lights, and they have serious looking uniforms that are personalized with their name. Also, KOA now has an indoor facility so no rainouts--instead games are played on HitTrax. Downside is that all that stuff adds to expense. 
5. Winning is not at all the focus--kids are just having fun and getting into baseball. We had some issues in BCC rec with teams getting obnoxious about wins.

Playing time seems quite fair from what I've seen, although kids don't rotate positions much. [/quote]
