It’s going to be his call. Whatever he wants to play; he can play it. He played flag football this past fall and he still talks about it. We will see about that when he starts playing with pads

Some of the best times I’ve had has been at baseball tournaments with my kids. I don’t understand why the OT hates baseball so much

That’s ridiculous. There’s a different season for everything and he will be able to enjoy what he wants.

It’s the OT. This tourney ball and basic white name jabs have been going on forever. You know they’re not above running jokes into the ground. Now that it’s in season, there will be a tourney ball thread every week and a half. Two weeks, minimum, all with the same responses as the week before.

It's just the culture of it that some parents perpetuate. It comes across sometimes as it's more for the parents to vicariously re-live their childhoods through their kids. I know a lot of kids LOVE it, and that's fine. The behavior displayed by some parents and coaches involved in it is just so gross sometimes though.

I completely agree. Some parents don't understand that this every weekend shite will burn their kids out on the sport in a heart beat.

Even college coaches cant stand travel daddy ball! Have you ever been to a College coaches conference? They rip and shred it! Terrible for the development of kids these days not to mention what it does to young developing muscles, joints, and ligaments. Ortho Docs cant stand it either. You would have to be an idiot to put your child thru that in 2020. Not to mention he hates it and is basically doing it for your ego anyway. 20 years down the road your gonna find out the truth. Best thing for sports development that has been reverberated by coaches, doctor, professional athletes and managers is stay diverse playing multi sports for short seasons and use the rest periods between them to your advantage to actually rest those kids. They gain more quick twitch ability and harder core by allowing joints, ligaments to properly heal and build and muscle mesh development to take the strain off those soft tissue injury prone areas.

13 yr old is playing a regional league soccer game on Sunday at Copiah-Lincoln community college in Wesson Mississippi. Literally WTF, Wesson?

My 8 month old is playing in the World Series this weekend. His personal trainer taught him a nasty slider that the other infants can’t touch

I just use it to instill some confidence in my son. It’s worked for the other sports he’s played. Having competed at a high level teaches or brings out things in kids that seem very transferable in competition.
