[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe those club and travel teams aren't as "elite" as you thought.
In most communities these days there are as many or more travel/club teams as there are rec teams.[/quote]

Club has increasingly just replaced rec leagues.  In sports like basketball and baseball (and I guess volleyball), there are many low level club teams and mid level club teams…and then there are elite teams, where if you make that team, then you are usually one of the best players on your HS team.[/quote]

My 8th grade DS (rising freshman in the fall) plays baseball. There are 2 elite level teams in our area at his age level- definitely all of the players will make their HS teams, many will make varsity as freshmen or Sophs (at large classification high schools). My DS is on one of the million mid-level teams (many of which are feeder teams for the various high schools). A lot of these kids will make JV, but definitely not all. My DS will probably make the JV team if he keeps working hard but it definitely is not a given, either….[/quote]
