My 2013 pitcher-only signed with his JUCO dream school (it is within 20 minutes and they play in the best JUCO park in the country) in the spring, so was glad to get that out of the way.
Some folks told him he needed to play this summer, even though a lot of kids who've already signed take the summer off...but are we ever glad he did!!
He plays with a team that is madeup of kids from all four time zones, yet their home field is a college field in OKC (less than an hour from us)...and it's very inexpensive, even though they'll play in tournaments in six states and another country and they have three kids who've already played a year of college ball, four who are 2014's, and the rest are 2013's who've mostly all signed...including several DI signees.
The great thing is that he's playing with college talent against college talent and has NAIA/JUCO college coaches teaching them about what it takes to be ready for college ball.
To be honest, I shudder to think how behind he would've been if not playing for this team, and how much of an advantage he'll have because of this Summer!!
I want to thank all of you who gave me advice over the last year, and want to give advice for 2014's who sign this year...play next summer for a team of kids heading to college against other similar teams, as it will get you ready!!
