Mainly because travel ball has become so watered down the competition is much like what they would find at their local parks.

LOL, not even remotely close.

I hate travel ball, but there is a night and day difference in the competition. There just is.

Actually it is very close, look at the travel ball teams. They have different levels now and for many of those levels the kids would be better off playing at their local parks. We are not talking the elite teams like what Ryan Theriot and Ben Sheets coach.

True statement. My brother's team was actually a local playground team that just happened to be really good and they played in travel ball tournaments and were one of the best teams in the state.

They would play in local playground tournaments sometimes and other parents would be mad that they were too good and didn't believe they were a local playground team.

But they are the rare exception. Playground team are generally not nearly as good as travel ball teams, which is why other parents didn't believe they were all local kids.
