We never had 9-10 all stars for my kids. It was established later. No travel teams accept what you would consider local travel - but Cali is a big place and we consider it local to the North and then to the South.
We still had strong legion ball in our area, so we just did kind of a feeder team to the Legion Ball.
Travel was considered a 80 mile roundtrip two times during the season of 50 games.
They played a good strong season, but didn't travel very far. Oh, I forgot we did go each summer to Reno for 4 day tournament (driveable). Never flew anywhere. Seemed like we got real good competition based on where most of the guys ended up for college.
