As I’m a travel baseball coach, I’ll speak from our side since the unathletic masses don’t get it and I’m sure I’ll be “wrong” in some way shape or form.

Majority of people elect to play travel ball because of competition. I could take my team and let them play in a local YMCA league, win every game 25-0, get no better at the game, hear other unathletic parents kids complain about losing to us, which in return makes the whole thing miserable for everyone.

The people who typically hate on travel ball are the parents who weren’t ever good enough athletically to participate in any sport at a more advanced level. It’s common, and I see it quite often.
