There are outliers in every discussion. The facts are that anyone can travel ball (ie, pay to play), if and only if, someone else is paying the tab. Either through sponsorship or scholarship or some other means. You don't see PBR, PG, USSSA, etc. giving out free tournaments to less advantaged programs. At least it's not publicized.

Every travel ball club we've played on, has had one or two kids who couldn't afford to be on that team. Who paid? The other parents who paid their full share.

It's all about the $$$, and it has to come from somewhere!
