Harbormom,
Good Question! We start piecing our summer plans together around February. But we always spend some time in the Tacoma area and could easily get around to anywhere in KingCo. My older had a wonderful pitching mentor at TBI last summer - I 'thought' he said his name was Coach Jacobs from White Salmon, but when I've tried to find him at White Salmon's website, there's no Jacobs. Anyway, he was very high on Tristan's abilities and that really encouraged the lad. It kind of bummed me out at the same time, knowing he won't have that 'traditional' high school / summer ballplaying situation. But we have to forge ahead! Seoul Amer. HS does have a team which plays very high level Korean teams (you'll see a few of these Korean kids in the MLB when/if they can legally and politically make the jump - look for a catcher, especially - wish I could remember his name), and they also travel to Japan for the Kanto Plains Tournament. But it's just much more difficult! A kid from our high school is now playing at PLU, as a matter of fact - Chester Broyles. Well, I'm getting tangential! It's just so nice to be able to TALK to people about this situation of ours!! Are there quite a few summer league opportunities? I'm mainly concerned about the timing. It seems like most summer leagues start in early June - and we can get back until late June........
