As a newbie with a college freshman who will be placed by his school, what can I expect cost-wise next summer(fees, travel costs, room, board, etc.)? Does this vary from league to league?
It varys from league to league and sometimes from team to team inside the league. My son was a FR playing in the Great Lakes this past summer. His coach placed him and did not give him any other options. His team put him, with three other roomies, up in an apartment for the summer at no cost other than a deposit. They also provided all transportation to and from games but did not provide transportation to the home teams location from his home state. They provided a meal card good for one meal per day (with a $ limit) at a restuarant close to the apartments plus generally provided meals after home games. They also provided all meals on the road. They provided the bats, and uniforms. The players provided any other equipment.
Other members of his college team were placed in other leagues (Coastal Plains, Hawaii, Southern Collegiate), plus a close friend of his was in the Northwoods. Each one was a little different in what it cost.
