Anybody have any experiences to share on this league?i.e., competition, housing (host families?), are the players required/allowed to work, facilities, do they practice on off days? Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks, I've seen the website, was hoping from some direct experiences.

njbbdad,
I don't have any direct experience because my oldest is still in high school, but here is what little I do know. The team in Anderson, SC (the Warriors, I think) last year stayed at Erskine College and ate in the dining hall there. I know that several of them worked at Clemson's baseball camp because I saw them there.

My son plays in the SCBL now.
I believe your experience will vary depending on which team you play with. My son's team resides in team houses, for which you are supposed to pay rent (I think I'm the only fool to actually pay, though. Our team ownership is extremely disorganized; they aren't all that way, I'm sure.)
Yes, players can work (our team was promised part time work that never materialized).
Yes, the teams practice on off days.
Competition is strong. Teams are made up of players from many parts of the country (and even some foreign countries)and from all divisions. Some teams had to wait for players to complete their post-season duties.
Pitching is the real thing. But so is the hitting. All wood-bat of course, but home runs do happen.
Facilities vary, from "legacy" to new.
I would be happy to discuss with you at any time. Just send me a PM, y'all!
