I'm not sure if you meant it this way or not, but it sounds like your opinion has a lot to do with your travel ball team and not having the athletes you would like to because they are playing with their schools teams or working out with school teams in different sports.
I wish I could take a 45 day vacation.......My son returned from the boro and after 2 days he was driving me nuts with "I'm bored", "What are we going to do now?"...he spent time in the batting cages, we even went to the gym, nothing gave him the energy hit he gets from practice and playing, that's what he wants, enjoys, thrives on.......things got so much more relaxed and more peaceful in our house once summer practice resumed.
Now my son has chosen this week to not play football anymore. This was not a decision made from pressure of any kind from anyone. This was his decision because he would like to devote all of his time to baseball. He would like to reach his greatest potential and feels he must make total dedication to reach this. These are totally his ideas.
