My son played mostly USSSA through 16u (the kids were fifteen). Our local region was headquartered 45 miles from our house. They had 18u tournaments. There just weren't many teams. The kids not looking for baseball at the next level mostly played Legion.
It is amazing how quickly things are changing. Nowadays it seems like everyone and their Grandma is running a Travel Team

Everyone and the "screwed kid in LL" dads are running travel teams. I remember these conversations with dad coaches. I tried to keep them short. I'm not big on listening to excuses. It never turned out the kid was good.

What parents often described as screwed in LL is their kid was one of five candidates for the last roster spot. He didn't get it. Plus in the parents mind he shou,d have been a starter. After all he was hitting .400. The problem is he was hitting .200 against the good pitching and .600 against the stiffs.
