, you may agree , you may disagree .. I've seen HS programs soooooo bad anyone that respects the game would want to run from them BUT ... Ok here goes .. I've been the hot shot travel ball dad , Lil DD was a ASA state champ , played most of her 14u games at 16 and 18u , I've been a college assistant at a place that was turning things around , I've been the HS dad , I'm currently a HS assistant on a very good team which leads me to say this ..
When you are playing HS ball leave your travel team logo stuff behind , no one cares if you are Bandit or a Laser or a Ray or whatever . I saw a HS team where 7 players wore their travel ball colored logo batting helmet , to me , and it might be just me , wear whatever the school issues . School ball can be rough , I've been there .. But that just isnt the time to showcase whatever level you are at . JMHO ..
Secondly I see TONS of social media where players and most certainly parents stating after a HS loss " I CANT WAIT TIL SUMMER BALL STARTS " well guess what .. you are going to lose some there too. And girls are going to make errors there , and throw to the wrong base there , and the rest of us trying like hell to win at the HS level dont need you Lording over us like your travel team is 1/2 Oklahoma and 1/2 UCLA . Get over your self please . Ok rant over
