Reply to "Summer Collegiate League Experience"

Just got back from visiting son in Northwoods league in MN..(my first time up there besides airport)
he was in WCL last year(he no like...) and so far (he went there for 2nd half of season 07/01) it has been a great experience.
I was pretty impressed with how the town comes out and everything was pretty organized and really dialed in .

all games televised with good announcers/camera angles etc...
I way more enjoyed these games vs his college games-where there was never huge attendance -mostly friends and family(now I am sure it would be different if he played in a well attended power 5)
It felt more real I guess - kind of like a  fun single  A game would be.
all the little kids come onto the field after the game and the kids sign autographs for 30 min.
pretty cute and pretty cool...

kind of like what baseball was meant to be?
competition is decent.  just like others have said - it is a broad mix of kids.  on his team its probably 2/3  D1. but on others its half or 1/3..
basically what I am saying is.. if your kid needs work and no Cape invite- the Northwood would be my choice.
