Here is my suggestion - take one Baseball Tournament vacation a summer it's fun for the kids and parents. Then you can easily play as many tournaments as you want in the DFW area. When you travel outside of DFW the chance of you playing a team from this area is pretty good so why not stay home and play them. Nothing sucks more than spending several hundreds of dollars to travel 4-5 hours and you play someone from the DFW area. How many times has this happened to you? Travel to let's say Houston, get a hotel , drive an additonal 10-90 miles to play a team that is from Dallas? I could have rented a field back home and played these guys! Why drive past Oklahoma City or Waco to play tournaments? Ask around, how many kids that travel all summer end up playing outside of a neighboring state? It all sounds good, "hey we are traveling to Alabama to play in a big tournament, lots of scouts and college coaches attending" Do you really want your sone playing D2,D3 or Juco and paying out of state tuition? A few do and thats great but the majority of kids that travel thinking they are going to get looked at aren't going to want to play D2,D3 or Juco 12 hours from home. If you are a solid D1 kid you will be found even if you never travel. If your kid is D1 they will find him, if he is D2 you may need to work a getting noticed a little more, D3 you need to call and attend a camp so they can see you. D1 Juco, they'll find you. D2 and D3 you may need to find them.
