I agree there are many teams/organizations that have their owns interests at heart, not necessarily the players. They pick up players for big tourneys, so they can win and boast of their trophies. I've been in those and gladly walked away before it was too late.
If you're paying for a team that is going to suppress your son, rather than promote him, find one that will.
Thanks--I appreciate that. And I agree with what you wrote. My son's team has been fair to him thus far. And I'm hopeful this weekend will turn out all right--if not, then we'll reassess for spring. If I were running a travel program, it would be hard to say "no" if a couple of P5-committed pitchers were available for a major tournament. As a parent I get that--it's a question of whether a team still manages to take care of its own players.
Anyhow--if anyone has helpful suggestions / info about this tournament, pls weigh in. I have only been to the July PG tournaments in GA (and have never been to Ft. Myers at all).
