I have not heard of it. My approach to it would not be based on opening recruiting opportunities by based on good lifetime experiences. So I would wonder?

* What is the cost to me?

* What other players are participating? How many?

* What are the travel arrangements? Living arrangements? Supervision?

* What opportunities outside of the baseball will my son experience?

Our older son played in the Dominican Winter League last Fall. He loved his experience and may go back someday. It did have a good impact on his view of the world and we as parents felt he grew as a person from it.

But he was 26 years old and given some of his stories, I would wonder about supervision when it comes to teenagers.

Just a thought. I am definitely interested in hearing how this turns out so let us know please.
