That's kind of where I'm at with this. There were parents who scoffed at parent's who changed schools so that their son could play ball when he wouldn't have been able to at his current school. I'm all for it if you have the means and are able to. There are late bloomers. There is also a value to the friendships and feeling of team that comes with playing sports. The road ends for everyone somewhere but if you can keep playing and still love the journey, why not? I had a parent tell me that they didn't care if their son ever played, he just wanted to be in the dugout and be part of it. Some kids are born with a gift and they are lucky. Not discrediting hard work, but some kids will never get there no matter how hard they work. It's a journey that has value regardless of playtime.
