We are in an area that is declining swiftly in LL. 19 to 13 districts in a couple of years in AZ. Our league consolidated 3 years ago with another. We are down to 4 majors teams. Everybody leaves LL by 10 or 11 to play travel or Cal Ripken. We do not have the luxury to be choosy. We will take any players. More players equals a stronger league. Ours is dying state wide.

So it does help the league. If we kicked out every kid who played travel we wouldn't have any teams past minors.

Your sarcasm isn't necessary. I never said we saved the league. Just helped to make it a little stronger along with 90% of the other majors players and parents who play travel. I believe that LL is growing year to year, unfortunantly, it seems to be only on the international side. The US numbers are probably shrinking very fast indeed. I notice how they never post them.
