[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why kids around here can become “DMV good,” but they’ll never be “Texas/Florida good.” That’s a whole ‘nother level, and it does have a lot to do with being able to get out on the field year-round.

OTOH, overuse injuries are happening more and at younger ages than ever before. So having an enforced break is good.

Winter is a good time to get stronger and faster, and to improve fundamentals through cage work, etc. Any travel organization is going to have an off-season training program. Plus there are tons of private coaches out there. [/quote]

I mean...a DMV player was a 1st round MLB draft pick out of HS just in this past 2023 MLB draft.  My kid plays on a travel baseball team based out of MD and 1/2 the players are committed to D1 programs, including NC State, UMD, and Alabama.

There are indoor training facilities in the DMV area...they tend to be out in Sterling, VA and that area and they are expensive.  However, they provide excellent training.[/quote]
