Our choice was between local daddyball teams that included kids who hadn't made the HS team, or organizations. My son played rec through 10U, local travel through 12U, but he wanted coaching by people who knew baseball, so we switched to an organization at 13U. College recruiting wasn't even on our radar. I didn't always love the organization - some years the coaches were better than others - there was plenty of drama each year, and in hindsight going to the big tournaments wasn't necessary for his college exposure, but my son loved playing with good players who were really focused on baseball, against good opponents. He was prepared to play (D3) college baseball when he got there.
