Travel Ball is mostly a misnomer. Tournament ball is more accurate since most teams rarely travel that far to play, and it's a weekend tournament format. Both of my boys played growing up, and I loved it. They also played football and basketball in season. It's really no different than other kids' activites such as AAU basketball, cheer, dance, music competitions, etc.

You say this as if those things are also not equally as laughable

Edit- Someone mentioned scholarship money, do the parents not realize that outside of football and basketball "full rides" don't really exist. If Braxtyn is good he'll get 10% at ULL, which means spending $40,000 for a 10% reduction of tuition at ULL.

I know parents with kids in it now, they travel pretty damn far and beyond the weekend.
