I agree with you that currently there isn't a good alternative. The select model could easily be tweaked to benefit the kids but it's not good for the bottom line of the parks or the coaches so it won't change. The current model has us falling behind Europe in basketball and the Dominican and other countries like that in baseball but we keep it up.
I'm not very familiar with AAU basketball. I agree that travel baseball is 100% designed to financially benefit the "academies." But if you want to play the game against good competition, it's the only option.

I agree. It sucks for modern day parents. They are basically forced into a system that is helping their kids in ways but hurting them in others because as adults we are too worried about money and status and not worried enough about the actual development of our kids.
