@T_Thomas posted:Yes, and that does seem to be the most common method. The point of this topic is to explore the other possible options. There could be lots of reasons why a player might want to play in a different setting - maybe closer to home, maybe farther away, who knows. In my son's case, his school mostly puts players into relatively local leagues around the southeast, and he is interested in perhaps exploring different parts of the country. So just he's looking to see what might be available...
I would advise your son to talk to his college coaches and find out if they have a preference about where he plays summer ball. If his college team has placed him somewhere there is a good chance they did it for a reason - but not always. If he was placed somewhere for a reason I suggest he go along with it. If there is no particular reason he would probably not get an objection from his college coaches about looking at options.
