[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 5- Criteria- let's go with overall enjoyment for the player, organized operations, good communication, ability to assist with college recruitment ( if player wants to advance), higher level talent in the org., and coaches who are knowledgeable and connect with the kids.

For college recruitment…they need to be able to honestly assess where you are recruitable (at least are you D1 material or not) and should have 100+ college coaches in their phone (again of varying competitiveness and hopefully also varying academic profiles) that they can text to promote you as a fit for that college.

The teams I know around here that pass any real muster for this are the Stars, Dig In (National team), Mid Atlantic Red Sox, Richmond Braves, and MVP (I think Black is their best team that focuses on college recruitment). DMV Prospects is good if you know you are a D3 player…they rarely send kids to D1.

I don’t know the MVP experience if you don’t plan to attend Madison HS.  The program is run by the Madison head coach.[/quote]

My kid plays for Arlington United. It’s not top 5, but I don’t think mvp terps is either. Maybe marucci prospects, canes are always good, stars, Snyder bucks. [/quote]

Canes has a gazillion teams…it’s a franchise model, so some Canes teams are great (regional national teams) and some are horrible.  They try to leverage the name to convince everyone you will get recruited, even though your Canes team may just be a local nobody coach that paid the franchise fee.

Good to know. Won’t be as worried when we have to play them in a tourney. They always seem good. [/quote]

If they are branded Canes National…then be worried.  They have like 8 National teams nationwide by geography (Canes Midwest National et al). They are all great teams with usually the 8 fielding starters all D1 commits (and a number of pitchers too).

These kids usually get to play for free or very low cost (they pay their own travel I think) because they create the “aura” that convinces all the inferior teams to charge high fees.

It’s a common travel baseball business model.[/quote]

My son played for the de facto varsity PT team couple years back and played the Canes at a tourney at Radford. They were absolutely slaughtered. I think it was 27 to 1. It was like watching grown men play boys.[/quote]
