For once me and you agree on something. Maybe we can build on this. lol
Usually in travelball you have much better coaching. The kids learn a lot more and in most cases and most importantly they have more fun in TB

I really don't think most TB coaches would abuse the situation with the pitcher. There's usually more than 1 pitcher anyway, unlike a lot of high schools. Games are usually on Tuesday. Rest on Monday, and you will be ready to go. Again, I think there could be a compromise.

Let me go out on a limb, and say, there might be a lot better hitting on Tuesday if the players had 18-20 at bats over the weekend against quality pitching. I think that would outweigh the situation with the pitching.

something not discussed

HS coaches are limited to players at their school
TB teams are fully recruited.

I have seen as much drama on a TB team as in HS. it knows no boundries.

7 teams in our conference, 5 of them have one varsity pitcher. (other 2 have back ups for support, but dont start)

HS ball is sooooooo much better now than five years ago because of the influx of travel ball coaches. Some schools require that the head coach be an employee of the school (teacher) and the smart coaches have retained travel ball coaches for assistants.

Not all hs coaches limit a girl to one position. every player on our varsity/jv team rotates positions on our wed/sat practice for experience. hey, i'm willing to train if you're willing to learn. never know, might find a diamond in the ruff.

Both have good players, both have supportive parents, both have good and bad coaching, both have spoiled brats, both create lots of discussions, both bring joy and heart ache, both are creators of passionate followers, both can build character, both can be scary, both can be fun to watch, both keep TMR's busy, and both are great activity for our young ladies to keep them active, physically and mentally alert, create wonderful long lasting friendships, develop team building skills to assist with life to follow, and if done right, both can be very positive experiences and provide wonderful memories.
Well appears the debate can continue! LOL

How many TB teams?

How many TB teams, 18U and 16U exist in NC? Can any of you TB experts make an estimate?
