[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.  [b]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[/b].  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.

If your rec league isn't like this, find a new rec league. My kids are in a situation right now where at my older DD's level this describes most kids (even the new ones) and has since 10U. My younger kids' age divisions look nothing like this and we're casually league shopping. Rec leagues that can bring kids up to this level absolutely exist.[/quote]
