Feeder Program and a committed group of parents/supporters of the Local Baseball Program yield strong high school programs. We at the GSBA see this year in and year out, great example Salem. They have such a committed youth baseball board, who go above and beyond to provide their players the ability to learn the game and play in the spring, summer and fall. They focus on the instruction of not just the players but the coaches as well so that the fundamentals are reenforced from a young age through Babe Ruth, giving the high school coaching staff a great starting point. Look at Salem last year, realistically this was a weak Salem team yet they still competed through out the year, this is a reflection of the youth program developing players.
Our Summer and Fall leagues provide programs like Salem a place to pick up more games against quality teams, it is no surprise that teams who participate in our league tend to be successful in high school, because their players are prepared, preparation through experience.
