Will,

Select or travel ball is nothing more than a team that plays outside the local league. They're not bound by any local league politics or rules.

Believe it or not I've actually seen guys who sat on the board of the local league that had a team in both the local league and a select team from that local league. Disastrous to the local league. I've seen games getting cancelled in the local league because the select team was off playing a tournament.

If your kid(s) trysout and makes a select team you do not need to be in rec ball any longer. Usually the coaches of the select teams will have kids that are above average players (but not always, you need to check the coach's and their kids credentials).

Knowledge is Power! Thank you Mavens and HSBBWEB!
