Is there anywhere on this site I can go to to get info on Summer leagues? My son has a chance to play on one this year and I'm looking for some helpful info.

Name the league and I'll bet someone has some insight
Along the same lines, anyone have an idea on summer leagues for JUCO's who are now prohibited from playing for a college summer league team coached by a D1 or D2 coach, which elimintaes tons of teams.

rz, It's the ACBL, Atlantic Coligate Baseball League. This will be his first and last year. He's a Jr. now and one of the few things I do know is that you have to have college eligability remaining. Other than that I'm in the dark.
Here is some obvious, un-helpful advice: Have you tried the search feature on this site?
I recall this question coming up at least once before and there was a link to a bunch of leagues in one of the responses.
(Sorry, still feeling grumpy.)

If your son is being offered a spot on a summer colligate league team I would consider it an honor and a great opportunity. I spent some time and effort locating a spot for my guy. Parents don't usually play a role in the process but we lucked out. We viewed it as the next necessary step in the process.
For Love of the Game is comming on, what a great movie!

My son played in the Northwoods and to this day it was the time of his life that will never be replicated. Regardless of the League, there is nothing better than college age players from different teams getting together for a few summer months and enjoying the game they love without the pressures of school. While the game is the same, it's a special fraternity, at a special age, that every player will remember forever.
These leagues offer a taste of what being away from home and traveling as a ballplayer is like.
They offer good competition and the chance to meet and play with other college ballplayers.
Enjoy the experience.

baseball is life
my son went to a cc and fell into the same rules. he was twice invited to tryout at the cape. they have a replacement list for filling rosters.
but the ncaa rule only made him available to a few teams. the rule is more for the coach than the player.
i think the rule is more for college hc. a recruiting thing. you'll see more assistant's coaching in summer leagues. i thought i saw a few more jc players on rosters this past season.
3fingerglove knows all the rules, maybe he can help?

Wow, sounds like some pretty solid advise. 7 out of 8 replys are from HSBBWeb Old Timers. I feel honered. Thanks for the info. I will pass it along to Jr. The more I hear the more I'm sure he'll like it.
Our son played in the Northwoods League a couple of summers. He had a great experience with superb coaching and had the opportunity to play up against top talent. The fans of all ages are unbelievable--that treat these kids like super stars.
