Question for travel baseball parents: how do you balance work and traveling every Thursday/Friday through Sunday. Do you just completely shut down your other kids and their activities?

People seem to take the word "travel" too seriously. My oldest plays on one of the traction teams and we played one tourney in Houston, one in Lake Charles and two in Lafayette. The rest were considered within the Baton Rouge area except for the last one which is Disney. With traction now operating Cypress mounds, they are going to attempt to bring back quality league ball. It will take a few years but hopefully they can get it done. Most parents desire quality league with the option of a few tournaments scattered throughout ending sometime in mid June.

I always tried to schedule no more than 2 tournaments more than 90 minutes away out of the 10-11 we play in. Coming from Ascension we would try to schedule one in Youngsville every year because we like playing at their park. If going to Chalmette, some would overnight, some would not. Mostly we would play in the Baton Rouge area.
