My 2017 still plays pepper. On his previous travel team, they used to use it to keep warm after warm-ups before a game. Once we were done with the official warm ups most of team would go off to the side and play pepper. On his HS team and travel team the warm-ups are a little more extensive so there is less time but if there is time, he and a couple of kids off his old travel team, still head off to the side to play pepper until the game starts.
