My average sized 14/u catcher (5'6" - 130) is playing on a 14/u travel team. We start weekend tournaments 4/1/2017. He is also trying out for the HS team (Tryouts start tomorrow!). I am projecting him to be the starting catcher for the JV. We are getting some indications that they may actually have him begin on the Varsity team since he has done a great job handling the staff. I feel starting JV instead of being the #2 or #3 on a varsity squad makes more sense.
Now while going with a friend who T played jr Legion with last to one of their practices, the SR Legion coach asked him about playing for the SR Legion team.
When is too much baseball just that? Too MUCH? He is the starter on the travel squad his is but I would see they splitting plate time and him catching maybe 3 out of 5 games on a weekend if we play all the way. JV would have him 2-3 games a week. Once HS ends, Legion would be 2-3 games a week. He doesn't pitch. Just catch and outfield.
IF he wants to play should I let him? He has had busy schedules before but never at this pace. Parents thoughts??
