[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If LL is your Rec option, I would consider a local travel team to get on the bigger 50-70 field with Major League  Baseball rules. Longer throws, leads/pickoffs, 1st/3rd plays -- a lot more baseball. Especially beneficial if you have a knowledgeable coach.

People are focusing on Varsity, but you gotta make teams before that to get there. Coaches love smart ballplayers.[/quote]

Coaches love physically mature baseball players and in our experience prioritize size along with throwing and hitting velocity over smarts. [/quote]

And speed.

Now, yes- even those kids will need to play some travel before high school, but they are totally fine to wait to start until 12-13. They may need to start on a lower level team at first, but will rise through the ranks rapidly. The coaches will teach them what they need to know.

Little kid travel ball might help the average sized averagely athletic kid a bit (when compared with another kid with similar attributes) but only in a “tiebreaker” type of situation in terms of making teams. That’s it.
