Playing and decent coaching are the main things. The Waipio team that won the LL world series was a rec ball team that had to beat some very good travel teams along the way. The quality of their coaching was shown by their ability to get better as the tournament went on-getting no hits but winning against Northern Ca, hitting better as the tournament went on, beating Nevada after losing badly to them, coming back against Louisiana. Waipio is a small town with a population of about 12,000 and its rec ball or nothing in Hawaii. The TV announcers were constantly talking about how the teams from Nevada, Florida and Louisiana had been playing travel ball but in the end Waipio was the champion.
