[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman who plays on your standard NVTBL 3A team.  He was never a kid who had playing in high school as his goal - he just enjoyed the level of play and the camaraderie with teammates.

Now that he's in HS, he's starting to realize he might not want to even try for HS ball.  So what do kids do who (for whatever reason) don't play school ball but still want to play competitively? He has an April birthday which is the youngest birth month in 15u (as you all know!) so he could maybe play spring travel ball with a 14u team if one would take him.

Curious what your travel players do if they don't do school ball. Thanks![/quote]

NVTBL doesn't shut down.  There are so many travel baseball players that the vast majority of them do not make their high school varsity team.  Most don't make the freshman team.
You can keep playing travel, they might move you to a team without high school players or if you move down they will probably put you on a more competitive team.
So much happens at 14/15/16 that by the time they are sophomores or juniors, they might decide they want to play for their high school team.

Talk to your organization and see what they have done with kids in your situation in the past.  Some travel teams just play right through highs school and take time off during the season.[/quote]
