[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for recent feedback on KOA's select/babl program - how did your child and you find the level of play, and strength of coaching? I'm most curious about the 12-13 yr old babl group but also have a younger son who is interested in trying it. Both boys want to play more competitive baseball than rec but we do not want the time commitment of travel (nor is either boy at that skill level although they are strong players). [/quote]

In general, it's very weak and expensive for "select" - barely a step above rec, but very expensive.   For a real young kid, i.e 3rd grade - the coaching does help and it's probably a good choice.   If you have a decent kid, they get frustrated especially if they are at older end of age group (BABL grouped by 2 years) .   .12U is with 11u.      At 13u (bigger fields) - its extremely weak, but partly because by then many kids have gone to travel and the time commitment was fairly significant.

The challenge is that the Bethesda area doesn't have a lot of options for "select" - other than BCC and KOA.     BCC is definitely more competitive and far less $, but dad coached - which occasionally has its issues.     Though the coaches at KOA can have issues too so don't assume non Dad coached is always better.      [/quote]
