Playing with the Dirtbags has been a huge waste of money. It has been total deception from the very beginning. You receive an email saying, "Congrats, this is your invitation to join the Dirtbag baseball program", if you don't look at the fine print in the attachment you won't know if you made one of the teams (15u black, 16u gold, etc.) that plays on actual college campuses or if you made one of the "instruct teams", now known as "scout teams". We have played two "tournaments" (actually scrimmages) and have played the same team 5 out of 6 games. All of these games on high school fields with the coach running back and forth between innings to instruct...or in their words "develop the players".
What a joke!!! It burns me up that we payed $1875 plus travel expenses to play scrimmage games. Also...the Impact organization thinks nothing of cancelling games and moving them to Monday...hello!!! we work!! I'm not taking time off, paying for a hotel room or driving 2 hours to play a scrimmage game!
Note....the color named teams also payed $1875, but they get a least one or two games on a college campus, more tournaments, and they actually play other teams.
