@22and25 posted:Some people around here lament the fact that we don’t have middle school baseball. I am glad we didn’t have to deal with it. I just wonder if those living in a area with middle school baseball, do you feel some obligation to play? Does the high school coach care if your kid played on the middle schools team? Admittedly, it’s a foreign concept to me because we have never had it in Texas.
I can't think of any kids who attended our middle schools who were baseball players who passed on the chance to play. And, I know several who were heart broken when they tried out and didn't make it.
That said, I also know of a few kids who didn't make the MS team who did make the HS team. So, it's not like it's a prerequisite to making the HS team.
