I understand that these clubs are trying to get the jump to get the best players, but at whose expense?
I would venture to say, the kids expense.
What good is it to make a select team and then not get to play (hs ball or summer ball)because of an overuse injury.
I know that there is a balance in there somewhere, I just hope that some of these players parents know enough about their own child to make a sound decision on when to shut it down for a while.
