Travel ball vs School ball
Travel ball vs School ball
I’ve heard these terms more than ever this year. I’ve heard of kids not playing for their own school and instead opting to play travel ball. This issue seems strongest in baseball/softball and it seems like it’s heading into wrestling pretty strongly as well.
Will travel ball kill school ball in the next 6-10 years?

W/o getting too political, who will be able to afford fuel, food, rooms, etc. in the next year or 2 let alone 6-10 years?
It ain't over until it's over.
Re: Travel ball vs School ball
Coach travel ball has already killed summer pony/teener league in our area. I believe it will overtake school ball eventually. Baseball makes no money, has no umpires anymore, and causes enough drama that I don’t even think the schools will fight it when it happens. I hate it but I think it’s almost too late to save it at this point.

Re: Travel ball vs School ball
Another bad off-shoot- Travel coaches coaching school teams. I get it that teachers don't want to coach anymore and getting people to coach is difficult. But these coaches pressure kids to join their travel teams and/or favor those kids whose families are paying them thousands of dollars on the travel side.

Simply put, the ruination of many school sports and especially local town baseball!
