What’s that mean? If you play at 8 or 9 am and lose then you’re done. You have the whole day to do whatever you want


Single elimination, you play for a seed Saturday and get put in a bracket for Sunday.

If you lose the first game you are done, if you win you keep playing until you get beat.

We've had to get up at 5 am and drive an hour and a half only to get beat and turn around and drive back home a bunch of times.

We've also played from 9 am till damn near 11pm to win a tournament, then drove and hour and a half home

Okay thanks for clarifying. I had no idea. My kid only played travel ball for 7 years.

Sitting at a Mexican restaurant right now with whole team...you can frick off. If you can't enjoy life and enjoy being around people than frick off.

And I love the rec people complaining a out travel ball. Sorry your poor arse couldn't afford it.

Well that's kind of hard when you have 20 8 year olds running around and parents not supervising them, kind of the point of the thread

Travel ball especially below age 11 is 100 percent about the parents and 0 percent about the kids.

Coach pitch travel ball is an absolute joke. It’s a social circle for adults.

Rec: shitty parents that don’t show up

Travel ball: entitled parents ego view coach pitch travel ball as a way to choose what team their kid plays on, instead of being drafted

Of course he thinks his kids are well behaved. He’s pounding mich ultras at the dad table. His wife is getting tanked on margs taking selfie’s with the other whore wives. Meanwhile, his kid is acting the arse 5 tables over having a Dr. pepper chugging contest running the waitress ragged.

Dude is clueless

So you’re saying Omaha, Branson, Pigeon Forge, Cooperstown is all a joke and 0 percent about the kids?

Which one of those places your son was invited to play at?

You realize each of these teams only carry 12 maybe 13 kids at most??

No team ever carries 20 kids.
