-1 we had an epically awful experience with BCC selects. Had the hope it would be more competitive baseball without the negatives of travel and we got more than our share of negatives thanks to the poorly run draft and dad coach. Left for travel and now have less “craziness”.

+1 to the mom who said the grass is brown everywhere. [/quote]

I completely disagree. What makes the Select draft poorly run? I've been in a few as a coach and they are extremely organized and fair.[/quote]

DP here. We've had two go through BCC Selects. The first DS had a decent experience. Teams seemed largely even and the draft process went smoothly. The coaches were fine, not particularly knowledgeable, but overall the experience was fine. Did two seasons and kid ultimately decided to pursue another sport more seriously. Second round through was awful. The players were rated at tryouts by a pack of college kids (or maybe they were very recent grads) and they barely paid attention as a result you had kids with ratings that were wildly inaccurate and that, plus the disparities between coaches' abilities to assess players (or actually know who anyone was) meant for a loooong season with most games being a lopsided loss for DS's team. Not fun. It was made even worse because the parent coaches didn't know much about baseball and allowed parents to push them around regarding where their kids should play. Parents pushing coaches around is always a thing, but we were shocked by the coaches' shortcomings (which, btw they openly admitted to themselves) and then the lack of interest in the organization to remedy the situation. So, I guess I'd say BCC Selects could be a good fit, but there's also the possibility you'll run into a similar situation as we did with DS2. [/quote]
