I don't think it's Travel Ball, it's the parents that participate and support it.

Club ball for my son keeps him humble. Playing the best kids in the region seems way better than beating the shite out of the local scrubs in the Rec league.

ETA: my boy plays soccer, where the term Select is rarely used anymore, but it's effectively travel ball since we play tournaments all over the south every other weekend for a couple of seasons per year.

I'm not a travel ball coach. I've been coaching Dixie Youth (Rec) for over 20 years and I have to disagree with your statement. Granted there are some "prima Donna types" in travel ball but I see the same thing with some kids that only play Rec.

The common denominator with those kids are the parents. Their parents talk about the coaches and other kids in front of their own children. That's where Junior gets that shite from.
