You can also use GC to see if there are any signs of daddyball

Coach's kid batting clean-up, always playing SS, or pitching regularly despite giving up tons of hits.

You might need to pay for the premium GC acct, but its worth it

I’m in Va and we have northern Virginia travel baseball league. They have a website that will list tryouts and teams. Fall season just ended or is ending. I know that my 13u has alreayd done tryouts for his spring team, but others have no. See if moco has a similar travel baseball league. I’m sure they do as we play lots of Md teams or maybe they are part of NVTBL?

BCC Baseball - BCC Big Train

Perfect for where you live and the best organization in the area.

DC Dynasty is in the northernmost part of DC right near the MD line and has a great program.

Check out MC Little League for your 11u this spring. If they are good, they'll make the majors, play with local kids, and have competitive games.

They did the tryout there. Not sure of cost (still waiting to hear if DS made the team.) It’s in Rockville. Very modern setup with a lot of machines and tv’s etc.
We were told that players have full access year round to train and it’s staffed with pro ballplayers to lead training sessions and clinics.

Be careful sometimes terms like "access to former MLB players for trainng" or "opportunity for winter pitching instruction from former D1 pitcher" just means that you're spending money on a private instructor and not included in the base price. Maybe a discount, but 1:1 training probably not included in your dues.

Winter team workouts should be. But that other stuff is often upsell

Good point but I clarified. Their pitching coach is here for the off-season (off from MLB) so is their catching coordinator and hitting instructor. They run all of their clinics. You can do one on one’s for an additional cost, but the clinics are run by professionals.

I think Wild Bill has teams based in close-in MD/VA and NW DC. Paid Coaches but seems pretty laid back compared to other programs.

You can try Maryland Nationals - they’re just inside the district line (Bethesda) but have players from DC, Va and Upper Montgomery County in the program. My 11 year old son just did a tryout and was incredibly impressed with the coaches, their new indoor training facility, and number of former players that play in the WCAC and stronger high school programs around the area. I would say that it’s geared more towards advanced player development so if your child isn’t looking to devote time training outside of practices there may be better mid-level options.

OP Here--we are in MoCo

I hate Facebook, but if you have an account join the Maryland Travel Baseball group. Teams post all the time looking for 1-2 players. Tryouts are also posted there.

Are you in PG or MoCo? Just outside the District line can vary a bit location wise.

Just relocated for work and we are looking for a team for our DSs--one would be 11u, the other 13u. We are located in MD, just outside the DC line so we could do a DC team, but I think MD might make more sense given schedules and commute. We are looking for teams for both DSs that have a good balance of development while still maintaining a higher level of competition and more games. Looking for the most "sane" option vs "the BEST" team. Kids are decent players, the younger kid has more "potential" in terms of high school and beyond, but neither will knock anyone's socks off. Can anyone speak to teams in MD/DC for those ages? I realize at this point, teams may not have space on their rosters, but hoping to get a good sense of the different options before I start calling around.
