The ROI with travel ball is horrible..if you just considered that nobody should play. Really, IMO, nobody should be playing TB if you don't already have a college fund which you are putting money in every month..What you describe is happening all over the country with many teams where parents are rethinking their disposable income and ROI with travel ball.
Here in OK we can get quality tournaments up through 18U by staying within a reasonable driving distance (CO is about 10-11 hours). IDT/Sparkler, Texas tournaments, Top Club/Alliance Championships (sometimes..) here in OK and tournaments in the KC area. Tournaments further away then that (CA/Atlanta area) would be a once off sort of deal...
