Between HS Senior season and Freshman College Season

Get on a summer team and play!

This summer may be the most fun he has playing in his whole life.

What position does he play?

Ive seen a few HS grads get on college summer league teams. Anyone have experience with this?

Ask your college coach (ASAP) about getting you onto a summer college team.

Some of my son's friends and travel teammates played 20U. My son played Legion to have one last season with his high school teammates. With a bunch of kids headed for college ball the Legion team had it's best season in thirty years. They had a great time. With the lighter schedule my son spent a lot of time on strength and conditioning.

Playing on a summer collegiate team would be good preparation and experience before beginning college (my son did and he said he had a great time).  Typically, the college coach helps with a recommend to a particular summer team and league.  So, have your son talk to the college coach about this, asap.

My son is also a senior and will be playing in the West Coast league before

he arrives to school as a freshmen in Fall. This was set up by the college coach who recommended my son to summer team coach. So far, he is the youngest player on roster.

From what I understand the higher profile summer teams fill up fast, but if you 

research you will be able to find a local collegiate league too. My older son played locally

and it was all about tons of AB's against quality pitchers.

Whammer,

I also sent you a PM with more detail. My son continue to play with his 18U team. He had a great summer and really enjoyed it, without having to worry about who was watching and how he preformed. It was one last go around with some of his friends.(He also played with the same team, still 18U as a Freshman in college. But that is another story.)

If that is not an option look for some local wood bat leagues. For instance the Southern Collegiate Baseball League has some teams within an hour of you. I do not know if they take Rising College freshmen you will want to research that.

If that does not work out try a local MABL team. There are couple in your area.

The coach may just want him to work out and get stronger bigger faster as well. I know a couple of players were told not to play but were given work out regime's and practice routines.

Good luck

This question has been answered many times here. The correct answer is: Ask your college coach.

My sons SEC coach mentioned attending early (second summer session) to take 2 courses and get used to the 30K+ landscape before the Fall semester (at no cost to the family). The alternative will be playing golf, fishing, and attending MLB games with the family.

These two options were offered by the head coach and he decided to take option 1. We'll have 3 weeks in June for MLB and Golf.

Several of the 2012 D1 commits in my son's club program played collegiate summer league between graduation and the beginning of the college school year, last summer. The guy running the program orchestrated the placements.  Each of the kids had a great summer and are doing well as freshmen this spring in very competitive college programs.
