Would echo....

Have three summers worth of family college summer baseball under our belts...two freshman summers (both local)...one soph - three states away...

Don't underestimate the growth and maturity being around, and working out with experienced college players...something that will come in very handy when college practice starts....and the value of being away from home...likely with a host family...

Having them local made me happy, but in retrospect they were ready to be gone, to have an adventure, to test themselves in a bigger environment, not just from a baseball standpoint...but a life one. And being away was great for their baseball regardless of playing time...
