Travel ball only? Simple question..........how many college coaches do you see at high school games?, but the kid has to play in high traffic events only....ie high profile college exposure tournaments. the problem the kid is now on a stage with only the best. Picking a kid out of that prospective talent is almost immpossible. He/She has to be a complete standout to be found in that talent poole. Ask any BIG college coach and they will tell you straight forward they do not recruit from high school onlly travel ball. grades are what is important in high school. High GPA and ACT scores are what they look at after they have found the talent. For my two cents, i think high school ball is invaluable for the athlete. First of all for the comradere and development of team values. You dont get that in the higher leveel of travel ball because they usually dont evven know each other. Its a decision you as a family have to make. Is she at the top of the game both academically and athletically? If so travel ball is the way. If not (not that she isnt good, but is she the best) I suggest a mix. Good talent will shine, at any level.
