At this age, what you want is coaches who can teach you something, good fellow-players to motivate you, and experience at the highest level that you can get plenty of playing time. It's preparation for high school baseball right now. In high school, you potentially compete with seniors, thus summer travel at a high level is helpful, but only if you are actually playing in games.
Yes, we are talking 14u. I feel that Some of these replies are more directed toward older age groups. Thank you.
