[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This also underscores why “travel” is a misnomer. By definition, “travel” teams wouldn’t play in a local league in either sport.

Maybe you mean “select” or “club” but not “travel.”

Travel teams go to play teams in other states. Our travel softball team played tournaments in NC, West Va, Ohio, SC, Delaware and MD. Being a soccer or softball team and playing in a league with a dozen other DMV teams? That isn’t “travel.”[/quote]

And for about 99.9% of kids, there's no read to travel to those other states until you reach the second year of 14U or first year of 16U.

There's enough good talent locally in PA, MD, DE and VA for B level softball players.

That said, that's a pretty big region, which means you couldn't really do league play.  Imagine having to drive to the eastern shore on a Tuesday night for a league play softball game.  So local/regional tournaments on the weekends (where you may drive but not really be required to get a hotel) is ideal for softball.

I supposed there could be a local VA softball league and a local MD softball league (which there is the CML, but the best teams don't participate in that), but it would be the same 8-10 teams.  [/quote]
