[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel baseball. May would be the oldest in the May-April age group. So for example, I have an April 2010 son who is the youngest in his travel age group of 15u; he has teammates who have May 2009 birthdays who are the oldest in 15u.

If your son has a May 2010 birthday, he would be the oldest in 14u.

PP- in the south, there are many kids with Jan birthdays who are redshirted, especially in private schools. So while May isn't a super young birthday up here, it could well be down in the south.  [/quote]

Thanks. What age did you start travel baseball? And it goes by one year groupings? [/quote]

Starts at 8u. One year groupings until High School.[/quote]

Thank you, that’s helpful as something that might be a good fit if his age becomes an issue. How do you typically find a travel team? He has played in the little league but didn’t play this year. [/quote]

Look on Facebook. Usually  there is a local board where tryouts are posted. Or you can ask around.

The travel teams loooove May-summer birthday kids. Doubly so if they are big for their age.

He could also play little league for another season or two (I think I read that he was only 8) and then transition to travel around age 10. Fairly common age to start [/quote]
