[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's another thing I hate about these travel sports. Kids age out of rec. Why? Why does a certain age mean that you can no longer play a sports just for enjoyment and fun?[/quote]

Why is that travel sports' fault that there's an age ceiling for rec?

I don't know all the ins and outs of baseball to say for sure why there's an age limit, but once you reach age 13 in travel, you move to a regulation-sized baseball field, which has the same size diamond has MLB. This is significantly larger than a Little League-sized field, especially the outfield.  Finding those sized fields to accommodate all the rec players 13 and older isn't easy.  Our little league doesn't have any fields that size, so his league ends at 12.  Other leagues may have one field that is larger and they can keep going. But for my son, he has aged out.[/quote]

Many rec leagues have Babe Ruth baseball which goes through high school. There should be one assigned to your zip code.[/quote]
