Park ball levels get trounced bc all the elite kids that's would have been playing for the all star teams are playing for one of the many daddy coached USSA teams instead of the Rec teams .
No, b/c all the rec. kids DON'T show up for practice/games and don't play b/c they love the game of baseball. They think playing a sport is showing up twice a week for 3 weeks (practice) prepares you for a skilled game. They may show up for a 6p game at 555, let's be real about the situation. Rec was a big part of our lives (40+ crowd), but it's a thing of the past, just like the land line phone. As far as the "daddy" coached teams, well I'm sure no rec. teams have fathers coaching, let's be honest.

He's right about the rec talent pool. All the good players (most of whom have good coaches as dad) are on travel teams. Easy concept to understand.

Or maybe they just want to have a little fun in the summer playing baseball, and then enjoy doing other things the rest of the year.
