You guys are just arguiing for the sake of arguing. As I stated I'm not moving on my stance. I have NEVER heard a high school or college coach give any creedence to preteen travel ball. A few have laughed when I asked.
There was a pro scout at my son's practice last night. He's a former D1 coach. When I asked him he advised I not ask the question if I want to be considered a knowledgeable parent.
