getting back to the original ask by ADAMS BASEBALL, my son is also 13 yrs old and was one of the best players in his local little league. We did not pursue playing on a Select Team, however, we did accept an unsolicited invitation to join a Select Team part time last summer. We had no plan to increase my son's exposure; only a plan to invest in his development. IMO, the exposure is (was) a bi-product of his performance during developmental opportunities against very good teams and good players - both regionally and nationally. My son's participation and performance in USA Baseball NTIS Program was (and will continue to be - I hope) where we prioritize for the next couple years over any other for-profit nationally recognized exposure event opportunities.
