Reply to "NTIS?"

And to add a little more color to Joe's comment, the NTIS  regional event coordinators actually pay USA Baseball to host those events in a territory.  It's very much like a franchise.  I'm very good friends with someone who runs a large academy in my area and he was approached by them about being a host site.  Once he saw the price tag and how much he'd need to generate to get above water, he respectfully declined.

I would say that if you get selected from a regional event to Cary (which you also have to pay to attend), it can be a very cool experience.  Much like attending a college camp, going to Cooperstown, or any other youth baseball experience.  Just like those, know that it is a pay to attend event and that the road may very well end there (or at the regional tryout).  You need to weigh for yourself if it's an event/experience you're willing to pay to for your son to pursue.
