Schools that i played at were to small to have a college club team so I just recently notice that it even exsisted
How is the level of play ?
I did notice they have regionals and a world series.
Thanks for any info I live near where they will.hold the ws this year so was thinking about checking it out

Club ball runs the gamut. It can be anything from a player-coach beer drinking clique to a prospective college baseball coach leading players who miss the cut walking on at a D1. I've heard the club ball WS is solid ball.
If a team is players who tried to walk on at a D1 imagine they could play collegiately at the next level down.
There are schools here, such as the University of Colorado, University of Wyoming and Colorado State which, unbelievably, don't have college baseball programs. The Club teams there are pretty competitive when they play good JC's and D2's.
No personal experience other than hearing stories from friend who's son is on club team for an ACC school. Talent was mixed. Under funded - some players coming in off the bench would need to borrow a jersey from someone coming out. Definitely seemed like they are havening fun and it's guys who just like to play baseball. A few games my friend saw he stated were better than your average HS quality of play but you could still tell it was Club.
From what I have read it seems to be a pretty high level of play once you get to regionals. Looks like some of every conference has about fifty percent strong teams and 50 percent weaker teams but does sound like a good option for someone who wants to keep playing but focus on school
I also noticed a few players that played club ball eventually made the varsity squad or got another opportunity at a diff school
