RJM posted:A travel team is part of a business plan to get to college ball. What is the value of a business plan than doesn’t get the product in front of potential customers?
100% agree with RJM and others. You and your son have to have an end in mind...a goal. If that travel team is not part of the plan then you are wasting your time and money. The clock is ticking and if you are like most parents there is no money tree in the backyard.
I would strongly encourage you to sit down with your 2021 son to review what schools he is interested in, and discuss skill set. If you aren't capable of evaluating him, get an objective third party who is qualified. It is essential that you and your son understand where his skill set is wanted by a college coach. There is a much greater supply than demand which is why only 6% of high school baseball players make it to college baseball. Begin researching appropriate level travel teams that will give your son the necessary exposure, and dive into this topic. Like most 15-16 year olds they don't have a realistic idea what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Enter Mom and Dad to help navigate recruiting and assist in making his first big life decision.
Good luck! As always, JMO.
