You stated “that you had no kid or relative playing” WHY ARE YOU SO CONCERNED?For it or against it. What's everyone's opinion?
No one upset I keep quoting you because you’ve been given opinions on travel ball & you keep on. I mean like where are you going with it? Chances are unless you were born last night you already know the “world of travel ball or any other travel sport for that matter. I do find it strange you have that many “facts” about a lot of things & you hide behind a computer with “no balls” to address it with the problem area & who are you to think your such a know it all about how sports should be done right or wrong. I mean chances are if your hiding behind a screen your no expert. Right? I mean I don’t even know if what we’re doing in the world of travel ball is right or wrong. So I’m not sure how you do. I’ll let you know in a couple years. I mean as a parent we just hope we make the right decisions that’s all you can do. Travel sports in general are plain & simple you either play them or you don’t not many questions to be asked it’s not rocket science.I know your upset with me because you keep quoting me. I'm not trying to start anything on any other thread. I started the one thread about Daddy Ball, but I did not say that about your son. I'm sorry that was said about your son. I don't think that about your son. I immediately spoke out against Tigerdaddy and said that was wrong. I have a guess who that was. I do have interest in travel ball just in the context I said in this thread. You can accept that or not. I don't completely hate travel ball but I think it can be done in a wrong way. I personally think you have done travel ball correctly you have allowed other people to coach your son and I have seen tremendous growth in your son. Good luck.
My son played travel for parts of 7 years. On a couple of very good teams. Also played rec ball in spring every year. The combination of these helped him to become a pretty good player as well as still having community roots. Not saying this is perfect but has worked well for him.Whether you like it or not you if you ever want to play at the next level in baseball just playing 1a high school baseball isnt gonna do it for you. Only way to get noticed is by playing good travel baseball.

As far as needing to play "travel" to get noticed...
If you can play they will find you. Travel, legion, even 1A high school. Colleges will find you if you have the skills for the next level.
While I agree that the TOP travel ball tournaments do have a FEW college scouts attend I know for a fact that many "showcase" tournaments often only have parents and umpires watching.This is inaccurate. College coaches are not coming to high school baseball, softball, or basketball games to find kids. The only time they show up for those high school games after they have already found the kid on the travel circuit, to show support. There is no recruiting going on by watching high school sports, and it is only the best travel ball tournaments that have the college scouts.
^^^^THIS!!!Both my son and daughter have both played travel ball. Off and on for about 10 years between the two. Here's my opinion.
1. Playing 3 or 4 weekends a month from March to November is too much wear and tear on the body.
2. Too many parents decide their son or daughter will be discovered in 4th grade. If they don't think the coach is giving his son or daughter a fair shake the move to the next team or start their own program.
3. Any of the well known programs have multiple levels. In most cases the A team is funded by the b c and d level parents. The A team has the recruiters coming to their games.
4. The people who put on the tournaments are the ones making a killing.
Just my thoughts
Exactly. I think travel ball is doable you just have to be smart about it. Thanks.Both my son and daughter have both played travel ball. Off and on for about 10 years between the two. Here's my opinion.

Spot on.You can find teams with a parent that coaches that don't hold their kids to a different standard. If they have 3 or 4 openings each summer and fall and it's not due to birthdays move on
I know they think that. They forget Rosman is a small town, so gossip/drama travels fast. I talk about Luke because he is a great kid and makes it easy to talk about him. I'm an old school coach. Respect is #1 for me. That kid has it in spades. If you ask anybody in SMC who Luke Stewart is?they would have nothing but great things to say about that kid. Am I Luke's parents. No. Will they believe this no. I know exactly what they were trying to do on the other thread with brevardgirl. I asked the Murphy fan how we did because I legitimately was not there will they believe it no. Hate it for the Stewart's.Be careful Den. You are stepping on a lot of toes in Rosman. I actually agree with what your saying. Pretty much everything you said is true. Varsity team should be better, playing baseball year round. I get what your saying, but some people don't take well to being criticized. They think your Stewart's parents, since you talk so well about him. Which I told them that was absurd.Because anybody that knows them, should no better. That's why they were talking about you being at Murphy game. Cause they said Luke's dad was there.

Ok, I know the Stewart's personally there is absolutely know way they would come on here. Shame on you.Yep called out. Stewart’s are busted!
You got one thing right all this is drama. But you are just as guilty as the others. So quit acting innocent.Look up the fact I’ve had this name forever. That’s what I said. Quit deflecting the drama on me. Seems there’s plenty of it with who you are or are not. I haven’t said a word on this thread so leave me out of it. The rest of NC is prob laughing at the stupid continuous threads about how tigerden2 is bashing Rosman, the coach, the program, travel ball, etc.
Exactly they aren't thinking. Everyone accused me of bashing but don't want to look at the truth.How do all of you think how the Stewart's will feel when they see this. Shame on all of y'all.
