Depends on the state. In Alabama there is a 50% rule, where no more than 50% of the girl's on a TB team can be selected for a Jr High, JV, or Varsity team AND there is a rule that applies to all levels that says they cannot play or participate with TB during the season... Generally, there is a dead period for those players from 1 January until their season ends - "participate" means they cannot even go to a team meeting or take part in fund raising activities...
Think no one cares? Well, a Dixie All-Star Baseball team won the State Tournament this year and since over 50% of the boys associated with that team were on the High School team, they had to turn down a trip to the World Series because WS play was scheduled after the start of the school year which would violate the 50% rule... Everyone thought that it could be appealed to the AHASSA since it technically was not travel ball and with the Dixie geographic restrictions most of the boys attend the same high school and surely the governing body would grant a waiver... The answer was "you can either play in the WS or play high school baseball but you cannot do both"...
It is a stupid rule, especially the association with TB during the season...
