I watched Tony Robichaux give a speech to a bunch of high school baseball coaches and at one point he started to go in on travel ball and then stopped himself because his wife warned him about his blood pressure. He talked about how he can't stand "guaranteed number of games" and that these guys are playing games without ever learning how to play ball. They're just playing 1,000 games incorrectly. Was pretty interesting to listen to.

I don't see how this is a knock on travel ball. I mean it's not like your local playground is going to have top-notch instruction.

So unless you are replacing travel ball with some kind of private instruction from former professional players, I don't see how playing local playground ball is any better.
