[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid LOVES baseball and little league doesn't provide enough volume (games & practices) to scratch his itch, then starting travel at that age is a good call.

As some others have mentioned there are differences in travel programs. Joining a program where you're traveling out of state every weekend and incurring hotel costs doesn't make sense at that age. Nobody is getting scholarship offers at 8/9 years old. There are plenty of good programs where your kid can get to play more baseball without having to travel more than 45 minutes every weekend.

If he's still in love with the game by high school, you won't have a choice. [b]At that point every team worth playing for is on the road almost every weekend of the summer.[/quote][/b]

My kid played on a National team and the Summer season was actually very condensed.  Basically, June 10th - July 22nd.  Did involve living in Atlanta essentially for the 3 weeks...but I appreciated that it was efficient.[/quote]
