Deceptive trade practices at a minimum

Wanted to share this information with all of you. We had an absolutely horrible experience dealing with this league. My player arrived a few days late because of a commitment to his school and found that he would be staying with a total of seven people in a one-bedroom condo, even though the website says players are guaranteed a two-bedroom condo at the very least. The condo was so stuffed that players were sleeping on the floor in the kitchen next to the refrigerator. My player was forced...

This isn't a knock on the original poster, this is a serious question because I've never completely understood the need for 90% of summer ball. I'm hoping somebody who knows more than me can answer. If you're not a draft prospect and you're just looking to get reps, why not play in a local league where you're not paying an arm and a leg to live somewhere? What is the point of being shipped out across the country away from friends and family to play a full college seasons worth of games in...

If you aren’t a draft prospect and you haven’t yet earned meaningful playing time at your school there is a big benefit. A good college summer league can offer game reps against really good competition.

Adbono and PA: To gain the maximum from the Summer League, the team should be stronger than your College team and provide you with the opportunity to learn of your ability to compete in the game of life and baseball. There should be NO cost, except travel from home. If you record your experiences, you have info for several term papers for your College degree. Remember that there are pro scouts watching the strong leagues. Bob

There is a Texas Coastal League that popped up this year that’s owned by the same guy. I know players in that league and I have heard the same stories about it. You can find online complaints about Sean Lomas run organizations dating back over 10 years.

My son played in the Beach Collegiate League this past June/2021. To many kids were assigned to the rooms and he slept on the floor. Didn’t get a league tshirt and bars were scarce. Scout day was a pure waste of money and messages weren’t returned. On the plus side he got lots of playing time a s met some great player from across the country forging great friendships. If they can work out the housing issues and some other things it would be much better

Bats were scare not bars😂😂😂
