Anyone going to GA for the CABA 10U World Series?
For TRhit,
They learn the fundamentals during the many hours of practice each week. Tournaments are THEIR reward for all the hard work.

Can this go under the thread "coachng idiocy"
My thought and mine only---when do the kids get teaching and learn the fundamentals ???
I don't see how they get the basics set in their minds while competing so "DADDY" can have trophy !!!!

Just a bit of info. There are kids out there at this age that play because they "love the game" I can't speak for everyone but my son wants to play as much ball as he can. We have a professional instructor that teaches fundamentals.
Just my opinion that not all kids play just so "DADDY" can have a trophy.
We all know that not everyone here agrees that young kids should be playing tournament ball.
But in this case the question was "Anyone going to GA for the CABA 10U World Series?"
The thread did not ask for your opinion. If you disagree start your own thread.

You as I are entitled to our feelings on this as am I---when kids are burned out at 13/14 look back and read the threads
Your are right--nobody asked me- but I offered--If I can save one kid from burning out then I can feel good
Sir==go for it !!!! It is your kid, his arm amd YOUR EGO !!!!!
I would like nothing more than to be wrong when he signs a major Division I scholarship and say say "CONGRATULATIONS"

TRhit I have read some of your posts in the past and know that you have baseball savi but I wouldn't jump to conculsion about these travel ball teams. I think you might of had a bad experience in the past or just see a lot of bad experiences posted on this webpage but I know a lot of organizations out here in s. california that are not daddy ball teams. Like my two teams (13u &16u) are ran by guys that know what they are doing. In terms of preperation by practicing, strenghting, game experience, etc... The reason my people do tournaments are to play agianst good competion and help raise the play of the players. I do agree there are you not so smart coaches out there who do whatever it takes to win but no always. My 13u team has won 4 tournaments in a row 17 games straight without a loss and non of my pitchers have thrown over 80 pitches or have gone back-back games. A lot of us see long term and don't think too much short terms meaning win a tournament but at what cost.
For my team, a big or national tournament is their prize for woking hard all year on the fundamentals of baseball. They have fun with it. This is their time to put it all together. Most of the teams we compete aganist work hard on the basic of BB. Sure there are a few who don't. This is true for other aspects of life and other sports I'm sure. 100% compliance of something is never garranteed.
Most teams don't get a trophy. We go to compete and be the best we can be. To me that's you (TR) putting a negative spin on a fun team family oriented baseball event. When you write something like above, you are putting all of us in the same pot and this is not right either.
Most of the kids who played with and aganist my older son are still playing. He's twenty Y old. Some are at colleges, others playing adult BB.
This is my second time around and we are having more fun. Plus, I know a lot more now. None of my players either current or former players have quite because of being burnt out. And no my older son is not burnt out. In fact, he went on to work even harder than even I could have imagined. He's playing college BB because of it and his determination.
If you know of a specific situation of no fundamentals or over use by a coach, use that specific situation to point it out. But please don't put all of us in the thread under "Coaching Idiocy".
