Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Let's get some discussion as to the pros and cons of travel ball, whether it be baseball or softball. I'll start. Too often in softball especially, it's just daddy ball to its fullest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The biggest thing I believe in baseball is wearing out pitchers and catchers. Pitchers get the majority of attention but I do believe it takes a toll on kids knees catching as much as they can. Other than that, its different for every kid and finding the right mix of coaches who teach the game the right way and that a child feels comfortable with. Personalities matter and how things are handled. Finding people who do the right thing isnt hard. Getting on those teams can be. The next next thing is just not playing the love of the game out of the players. It varies from kid to kid. Its okay to have a kid who doesnt want to play a weekend and pick someone up if you have to than drive them away from the game. It doesnt mean they dont love the game or want to get better. Some coaches have a hard time accepting that IMO. As for Pros, if you want to get better its hard to beat game situation reps. Its even harder to beat getting them against good competition. Its no different than AAU basketball in that process. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
