Will "travel" teams ever disappear? I doubt it, but maybe 'travel ball' will become the new 'rec ball.' Some organizations in this area now refuse to designate themselves as "travel" teams. They talk about themselves being "college prep" organizations. They sell their ability to train players well, put them up against the highest level competition, and get them recruited and drafted. The implication seems to be that the 'travel' industry has become so watered down that it is essentially a higher priced version of 'rec ball'

Don't know if this is happening elsewhere.
