Loved baseball when kids were young. Coached more games that I could ever count. But with travel ball, pay to play, baseball has become toxic. Parents think their little brat will be a major leaguer and let you know it. They pay thousands just to play what is in essence little league baseball. Get to high school and kid is on the bench that’s when the venom starts. You can see the byproduct in major leaguers from American. Lost interest

Sorry to hear about your experience. Have 2 girls, so I missed out on travel ball.

yep.

in early days of travel ball, it was a lot better.
but now it’s too watered down. everybody plays travel ball, so other than cost, it’s really no different than local rec ball. **

**other than the benefit of playing a lot more games and gaining experience.
