My son is 15 played travel ball since 11 is a pitcher and 3rd base, has played for only one travel coach. No way he stays in with a sore arm! Are coach is and always has been very careful with all the kids, pitch count is a must. Keeping there arms strong thru training is a big reason that non of our pitchers (knock on wood) have had arm injuries.They follow the "Tom House Method" and the arm strenghting excercises have really worked for our team. Most tournaments we have played stretch out longer to avoid to many games in a day (of coarse rain can change everthing) but then games are shortend (hate it but what can u do). Anyway any pain ice that arm.
