OK, this is not my necessarily my idea, but it is the way the board for our travel org wants to go.
Background:
We are part of a strong, well funded and growing softball program in South Florida. We have teams from 8U to 18U in travel and an associated rec league. Access to an excellent park and multiple fields.
As we have grown stronger with more teams and better results, and now with at least 2 recruiting age teams, our board wants to explore joining in one of the bigger organizations such as Firecrackers or other similar organizations to help us with that, but also with recruiting, developing and retaining the local talent in the area. We bring a lot to the table that should be attractive to these orgs.
Help Needed:
So... apart from the 'this is maybe not the best move' advice, any suggestions, contacts and advice would be hugely appreciated. Feel free to PM me or reply here.
