Son's past 1&1/2 years

Senior HS season, a couple weeks off until Legion started, a couple weeks off until fall ball in college, couple weeks off for Christmas, back at it again in January until seasons end, a couple weeks off until Legion started, a couple weeks off between fall ball which is underway now again.

I guess that's year round? It's what every kid in college does. They really don't have much choice except to possibly take the summer off, but is that really an option? Your teammates are playing, the school is bringing in Freshman and JUCO's that you'll be competing with in the fall for the spring season, and I'll bet they played somewhere in the summer, they want a spot just like you do. Don't think taking the summer off is a smart option. Year round is just what you do when you're a baseball player, with brief periods of rest here and there.
