[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's different degrees of travel. We are in a travel program joined to the rec league and at least at 9U, found most of the games were home games against local teams. It was basically ran concurrent with the fall and spring little league schedule, with an extea practixe once a week and games on Sundays. Indoor training over the winter. I'm sure it steps up a bit in the older divisions but it was fairly benign for 9U. [/quote]

OP I’d really look into the travel program more and see what “kind” it is. My DS played “travel” at 10U but all the games were in our metro area (within 45 minutes from our house)- except ONE tournament over a holiday weekend a few hours away (and as a rare thing, that was actually pretty fun). It wasn’t much more time consuming than rec ball, and we kind of preferred it because all the games were on the weekends (as opposed to scrambling on weeknights).

But other teams? Even at 9-10U ages can be very intense. Traveling every other weekend, even flying to out of state tournaments and whatnot (ridiculous IMO).

But I would at least try to get the gist of what this particular team entails before making a decision.
