I do not know anything about the financial end but any of the better summer wood bat leagues require a lot of time and travel. My son played in the NECBL last summer and the ACBL this past summer. Driving time to most out of town games was from 30 minutes to 2 1/2 hours. Even though they did not play everyday it was still hard to work. A lot of kids did though. There were also a lot of local kids on the teams that did not live in the immediate area and they would drive to games from their homes. These leagues are to develop players. I know that some of the LU players do not go off and play during the summer because they need to work or go to summer school. This is something that needs to be thought out before committing to one of these programs. These programs are also very competitive. They will replace kids that are injured if they will be out more than a week or so because there is limited time to get these leagues finished. My sons league finished almost 2 weeks late because of rainouts. Very frustrating because family vacations were missed, but he felt it was worth it because of the development.
