How many coaches allow their players to play for their favorite local rec/church team and travel team?
We don't allow our players to do both. Many reasons to "make them choose" us or them...
1) pitching they face will be significantly better
2) player burnout-too many games at such a young age for most
3) 10 beer league dads teaching them "everything they know" and then our travel team has to work it out of them
4) Many scheduling conflicts
5) plenty of other reasons....to not allow this and many reasons to make sure the parents know the reason they should choose one or the other.
My position is to not allow this, regardless of situation. I'd rather see the players play for another travel team in off weeks before getting involved with community ball. This of course has issues as well.
