Reply to "Is Travel Ball a necessity?"

Getting the best exposure for the least amount of money/effort is to compete against the highest level of competition.  Kids from small schools often get recruited by coaches/scouts coming out to see the opposing team. Travel or HS, if your team doesn't compete against good competition, there won't be anyone at the games to find out who your kid is.  That's the athletic director's job to schedule games against big schools.  And if the team or your kid is able to play in tournaments, he'll most likely get noticed if he's good.  He doesn't need to get noticed by a college coach or pro scout.  It can be a local coach who gets the word out.  We have a tallish basketball player, senior, who's scoring 25ppg for us who gets a lot of attention at tournaments from other coaches and recruiters.  TBH he's not even that good as it's only his second year ever playing basketball but on our team he stands out.  If he had better grades he would have a scholarship by now.
