Kid pitches for 2 teams. He is leaving Friday for Florida- I send him with others and give him spending money and give them some $ for room. It is expensive. With that said if your kid wants to play beyond HS he has to get his name out. During HS ball all college coaches are busy with their season. If a kid wants to play further they need to attend some showcase events. If they have what the programs are looking for they will contact you early. Fresh/Soph in HS. Most of the time if a program has not made contact by then the athlete does not have what they are looking for. Most of the time they are looking more for athletes with a high ceiling more than a polished ball player.

My son just graduated and for those who say high school is enough, it isn't. The recruiters I saw this season were all looking at pitchers. It is hard to evaluate hitters against sub par pitching. And like others have said, colleges are busy with season.
I am huge fan of select baseball. But I do not understand the traveling and volume of games at the younger ages. The season is a grind. The focus really kicks in at the high school age. The elite tournaments will bring lots of recruiting. Colleges host showcase tournaments and that is a great way to get evaluated and seen.
Keep in mind, there are lots of colleges to play baseball and get an education. Also select baseball varies greatly in cost from team to team. The organizations or clubs offer a lot of amenities, and cost associated with them.
Winning trophies does not always equal good baseball and/or good training.

College coaches are hitting the recruiting trail hard right now or as soon as their season is over. They will be hitting the showcase tournaments looking for the next big thing, if you want your kid to get a look these are the places to go. Yes they do see and hear about certain kids during school, but that's b/c the HS coaches needs some kids getting recruited to one make them look good as well as the school. If you want a better chance at getting your kid looked at go to the showcase teams if he can make the cut then it's up to him to make it.

I'm leaning to be against all this select baseball , football, basketball crap. It's becoming a big business and lot of kids who have more talent and raw ability are getting left behind and leaving sports because their family can't afford it. Kids aren't playing sandlot baseball but learning positions and specializing in one sport. Baseball is the worseLast edited by BrandonA; 06-28-2017, 08:14 PM.

Keep that girl of yours fishing and in rodeo although I guess rodeo is just as bad! My buddies BIL makes 6 figure coaching select soccer. It's sure enough a big business.
