The good ones play all-stars which can go into august if you get through states. For most of our all-star team we also play AAU on some weekends in the summer.
I guess it ends so early to leave room to run the district, state & regional tournaments by early August so Babe Ruth can run their world Series Tournaments for each age group.
Wish it started later and ended later like SR Babe Ruth as many of the pitchers can't pitch during 1/2 the season as school ball is still going on.
