Although some kids burn out along the way,most are in 7th heaven with a full schedule of games that gives them the experience they need at the higher levels. Additionally it can tell a parent whether to proceed w/baseball or move on to something else. My son and most of his baseball freinds feel like they are the members of a pretty cool private club. Not for everyone,certainly not, but its high time that people recognise why some kids are way behind others at the Pony and higher levels.The really good travel programs play 50 + games at a minimum.
