Just to point a particular item point made by JB, its key not to "punish" or some how "prohibit" playing on outside travel team. Our local Babe Ruth league did just that and all of a sudden it was much easier to set rosters etc.., however the level of play significantly declined which did not benefit anyone.

When the league allowed kids to play on outside teams it had a pool of players it could call on to sub for missing players during the regular season. THis had two benefits, kids who really wanted to play, got to play alot if they signed up to be a sub, and kids who wanted to play a weekend tourney etc. got to play w/o killing their team.
