As a youth soccer referee, I humbly beg to differ.

Wait a minute a-hole so you are telling us that you played Bossier & Shreveport Dixie Teeball? That sounds illegal.

Not as many crazy parents and your kids gets to represent their city in all-stars and still play against a higher level of competition, while still being able to play multiple sports year round like your grandpappy did.
Unfortunately at a certain point the rec teams will lose all the better players and you will have to find a travel team or fall behind, not sure when that is but I would guess around 11/12 years old?

It’s not just baseball. It’s youth athletics across the board. Regionally baseball is our hockey, lacrosse, etc…
But for perspective:
114 kids went out for middle school baseball at my kids school. 12 kids made varsity, 12 made JV, & 4 kids are designated alternates. Only one 6th grader made JV, and it wasn’t my kid. (again, middle school equivalents)
If there were not the outlets available today, 90 kids would be shite out of luck in times past. So instead, we will play some rec ball during the week and some game 7 stuff locally on weekends. It keeps kid competing, off gd electronics, and actually socializing in an unsocial world.
Parents need to set realistic expectations for their kids and common sense examples of how to behave in public.

Yep. Go to a youth skeet shoot competition. Boys will show up with $3k+ over and unders.
Baseball is most popular because it fields 10+ boys a team so it gets the biggest hate. That's the way things always go.
You can tell when someone knows little about youth baseball when they say lil johnny going D1 or pro. Because I can tell you I have been around the sport for a long time and no one thinks that. Many parents don't even think their kid will play high school ball in current competitive environment. Most parents just want their kid to be in a competitive team environment learning life skills and being outside.
It just gets a lot of upvotes when someone says "braxton going d1/pro!"

AA travel ball is horse crap. It's awful. Kids have no talent
This just isn't the case in my area. AA is solid and gets better every year as more and more teams start earlier with private teams.

In my area kids show up with ten thousand dollar shotguns, private coaching, private schools that have sporting clays teams. And shotgun shells at 120 a flat. And the chance of making a living at this don’t exist.

There are Olympic teams though, right?

played little league in early 70's. Rare for any parents to be there.
Yeah, some on this thread accused my dad of having dementia because he said that as a kid in the midwest in the 50s, no parents were involved. By high school, of course they had coaches and all that, but it wasn’t like it is now. But i think the parent extreme involvement permeates all areas of society, not just sports. Kids don’t just play anymore.

This doesn’t seem believable or must have been an absolutely HUGE school. There were 114 boys that wanted to play middle school
Baseball at one school? How fricking big is this middle school? There had to have been some absolutely terrible players that tried out.
My town has a HS about 2200 with 2 middle schools so in assuming 6-8 is around 800 kids? That’s 400 boys. I haven’t see. A tryout but there’s no way more than 50 tried out. Most of them play together so they pretty much know who is making the team.

Depends on the age and this is for my area:
coach pitch
Rec, A, AA and AAA
Kid Pitch
Rec, A, AA, AAA, Majors
Note, I see very few A teams. Maybe one a year and there are no A tournaments. They play AA tournaments.

Wonder how school consolidation has affected things… most areas don’t have the little schools they used to.
Like for example St Bernard Parish went from three high schools to Chalmette being a 2200 student monster
if a lot of places do that, that affects the number of kids that can play This post was edited on 3/2/23 at 9:32 am
