[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how it’s a scam. At least in our local travel softball group, no one is making any money and everyone is a volunteer. All the money we pay goes directly towards expenses. Playing travel vs rec is the only way to weed out brand new or non-serious players, especially once you hit 11/12 or so. Also “travel” is a misnomer. We don’t travel - plenty of local tournaments and double-headers so we don’t need to.

So how is it a scam? We’d be happy playing in a select house/all-star league against other similar teams but those don’t exist in our area. [/quote]
I somewhat agree. Our coaches get paid though and we pay fees for tournaments etc.  our travel is all less than 90 mins of driving except one that was in DE. 
We loved rec when we first started out but you can’t improve in rec. the coaches are volunteer parents and have everyone on a team from beginner to experienced. 
There’s not a whole lot of options if your kid wants to improve, other than travel. [/quote]
