Son is a freshman catcher at JUCO in Alabama looking for a Summer team. One of his coaches has been assisting in trying to find him a spot and seems to have secured a temporary / conditional offer from a team in the Northwoods League (which sounds like he would potentially play for a week or two until their regular players get there).
He has also been reaching out on his own to teams in the Coastal Plain League and SCBL. Not much interest to date from Coastal Plain teams but appears to have an offer from an SCBL team.
We're new at all of this and don't completely understand how all of it works. Also sounds like we may be late to the party although he just finished his Freshman Fall season.
My initial thoughts:
Northwoods temporary contract seems like a good opportunity to go and try to prove yourself and earn something (during same summer or later). Also a long way to go for a 1 or 2 week deal?
SCBL opportunity is much closer to home and the league appears solid / good competition etc. Also thinking some time in the SCBL could feed into future opportunity in the Coastal Plain since both are in the same areas.
Searched on the forum but most of the info I found was 10 years old or more. Wondering if anyone has more recent info and guidance they could share?
