re: Legendary youth baseball coach lays the smack down on travel ball

I live in an Atlanta suburb that closed Rec ball from 10 and up because of low participation. Kids play "travel ball" or nothing.

I'm assuming east cobb somehwere, but you're not really refuting my point. You're pointing out one isolated, specific region (which is a baseball hotbed nationally) that has gone this route. That is clearly the exception and not the norm. I'm sure you could drive 10 miles down the street and find a rec league up to 14U.

kids don't give a shite about baseball like they use to

Wouldn't this reinforce the point that rec leagues will always be prevalent? I mean if the kids DGAS about baseball it stands to reason that they'd be more likely to join a fun rec league wiht their friends instead of travel ball.

In other word, there are use cases that say you're wrong.

Pretty sure there's exceptions to just about every rule ever. That still doesn't make this statement

quote:

---

rec leagues will be a thing of the past not long from now

any less absurd or inaccurate. Rec leagues will be around until the end of time, and far outnumber the specialized travel ball type leagues.
