[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar situation with the two teams at 13u. The newly formed team is the B team and established group the A. There are some strong players on the B team but they generally dont have the same baseball IQ as the more established team and that’s been pretty noticeable when they’ve subbed in with us. Subbing between teams is pretty rare and it’s only happened a couple times. I think the plan is to reshuffle teams for fall 14u. Will be curious to see if that is determined along lines suggested by PP with the physically more mature vs less physically mature lines. Honestly hope not. [/quote]

How long are folks expecting things to continue in a way that they want?  I feel like having been through all this, you are just delaying the inevitable so you might want to get used to things sooner than later.

If you just want things to be good through 14u, that's one thing.  But once kids are in HS and college recruiting factors into things, the teams will likely change significantly and folks may very well leave to other programs, new kids will come into yours, etc.[/quote]

I don’t get the sense PPs are expecting to see stability in HS. Anyone who has played travel ball knows what’s on the horizon for HS and I think that’s why some are expressing desire to stick with team/not keen on teams changing up every six months or whatever when their kids are playing 14/13/12u. That said, we are constantly reevaluating whether the current team is the right fit for our DS. Obviously skill growth is important for anyone looking to continue playing but putting in the work is a lot easier if you like the kids you are playing with/coach you are playing for. [/quote]

Yeah I think that is a nice idea but there’s always people jockeying for “better” teams so it is very transient starting at the 13u level when the little league player flood into the travel teams [/quote]
