[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like most travel baseball orgs TBH. Nothing new.

Did they cut your kid or something? [/quote]

Is soccer like this too?[/quote]

No.

Soccer has the USA soccer framework so the best soccer players don't even play on their high school teams

Baseball around here is particularly bad.  
I hear similar things about other sports but nothing I have heard comes close to approaching baseball.
Not basketball, not girl's volleyball, not cheer, nothing.

Almost every high school baseball coach in associated with a travel baseball team and being on that travel team is a pre-requisite for some high school teams and is highly recommended for others.
The baseball scene around here has changed dramatically in the past 5-10 years.
Baseball is a money sport now, for the most part.

Travel teams starting at 7U now.  
Some organizations have 15 teams at the 13U level.[/quote]

I've heard many states don't allow travel/club teams with more than half the kids from the same high school. Seems the area state athletic organizations should do the same. Would help with issues like the Hayfield scandal to boot.[/quote]

I thought VA was like that -- I remember DD's GF Sharks travel team was coached by the Langley softball coach, and he made a point of counting how many Langley players were on the team and making sure it was less than 1/2 of the roster.  (My DD played for a different local high school).[/quote]
