[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no point for C level kids to be on a travel team. It's just a money grab. C level kids should be playing rec. I personally would not waste money on private lessons for a C level 13 year old. [/quote]

Y'all need to stop denigrating C level teams.  Yes, some may be glorified rec teams.  Most are not.  There are unlikely to be new players on a travel team; most of the girls will have played for years.  They'll make most catches, they'll know how to bunt and where they're supposed to be on the field based on game play.  Some, like DDs team last year, are playing C because they lack any good pitchers and it's really hard to win at B without at least one good pitcher.  Some are outstanding teams (I have no idea how some of the teams at the East Coast C Championships could be classified as C teams.)  It is absolutely worth taking private lessons if you want to improve at that level.

I don't buy it. What B-level non-pitcher is going to stay on a C team with no solid pitchers? Those girls should all go find B teams if their hitting and fielding is at the B level.

Also for those who keep saying C teams are so great, I have seen C teams have a crazy strong record -- like 40 and 2 for the Spring with several of those wins being blowouts and then they move up to B and get absolutely crushed. If your kid is playing C, you don't realize how much higher the level of play can be in B. [/quote]
