Like I said, no dog in the fight, my team stinks. However, I do know earlier in this thread you said your connection to barbe was bringing your kids to games and that was it. Now we have evolved into you knowing the rosters family history, travel ball history, etc. I hope this isn’t someone on barbe’s staff. That would be a little unbecoming for such a great program.
i know a bunch of the kids in the program as i have been involved in youth baseball in the area for close to a decade now in some form or another. no im not on staff, there are multiple people on this board that know me IRL and can verify that.
as far as the history as far as travel ball....its listed on the players profiles on USSSA and PG

Understood… and I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. I don’t think any of the elite programs in any sport are actively recruiting. Maybe to a small extent, but not some crazy amount. It’s always the poverty programs saying “oh so these kids just show up?” Sarcastically. And the answer to that is yes, at some point they do just start showing up.

It IS a little strange how much lsu777 knows about the Barbe program and the details of kids/families yet not being connected, no kid on the team, etc. But he is right about a lot of this.
The Barbe program sells itself. One point not yet made is that the best athletes in the SWLA area end up playing mostly baseball. SWLA is not very strong overall in the other sports, you don't see many D1 football guys, strong football teams year in and year out from the area. Part of that is they are playing baseball year round.
There is coaching, and then there is running a program. NOBODY, and I mean nobody knows how to run a high school program like Cecchini. For him it is a 24/7/365 experience. He is a detail freak, fund raising, development, nutrition, recovery, strength and conditioning, all the way down to supporting the youth of the area. They grow up wanting to play for him and win multiple titles. He knows how to continuously evolve as a coach with the changing times, build on the previous year, constantly getting better. He is one of a kind.
