Thanks for that website information!!
My son goes to a duel campus high school, Lyons Township, with Fresh/Soph going to one campus, and the Jun/Sen going to the other. Approximately 3,700 students total. Our team won "State" in 2003. Hope to repeat, but not likely.
My sons biggest goal is to make the 25 player sophomore team. Was on the "A" team as a freshman. If you make the team, your usually invited to play on the summer team. Then, he will play travel ball with a good, competitive organization, Lombard Lightning. Will do fall ball with them also. Throw-in the showcase and camps, and he should play approximately 110 games + practices + training.
So, it appears, like you and Tom have stated, and experienced, this method/system seems to be the most practical for us. Which we plan on following. Like the ND coach said to me, "you can have all the lessons/training you want, you have to play games." Great advice.
Thanks again lotsadeacs and TRhit.
