Hey Danny!
While I haven't had one of mine in that particular organization...do have 5 years direct experience with the league...the team...and the community...and I'll get you started, big picture...
Assuming that you are not "Caping it" or taking in the sights of the Northwoods, The Blues are a good option...IMO a great portion of the Summer ball draw is the opportuity to experience another part of the country. The opportunity to play on the central coast of Califoria is an experience not to be missed, once in a lifetime kind of thing.
The town (SLO) is one of the few prototypical college towns in the state of CA, and the kids simply LOVE the place...fairly small...lots of things to do...Lots of young people...beaches are within 8 miles...weather is warm...life is really good....I may have a housing option for you, but we'll talk.
The team is a community stalwart and is good each year, playing in a nice community stadium located in a park and it makes a real effort as far as I know...If you check previous rosters you'll see that they carry many very good players and carry a bunch of Cal Poly players...Cal Poly is an excellent program..and provides players and coaches for the Blues.
The league(S) is/are in flux, but the competition will be good (not Cape or Northwoods, but still very good)...there are two competing leagues in that area, and the team plays teams in both, but the schedules end up quite good, as there are so many players from CA and so many players who want to play in CA. Check the rosters, Google the players and you'll see that it is a quality group of atheltes and coaches. The Blues sold two years ago?..but I would be confident that there will be good teams to play. Teams travel 2-4 hours generally, but the scenery is not to be missed.
While there are no guarantees...It's a good bet... I would be pretty confident that he will get some excellent competition, develop, have a great time, and return with a bundle of priceless memories.
PM me with specific questions if you wish...
