This is occurring all over the place. Rec programs are forming travel teams especially at the community level. Many rural places LL is not available and player interest continues to decline. This is the "over saturation" of TB that some posters have issue with. Who cares if there is more "C" level teams? Let them play and have fun!
I think it is GREAT! There are many players wanting more instruction and competition but maybe cant afford the dues or logistically it doesn't work for their family.
Rec/LL has turned into babysitting in many places; why did all the travel players leave? Lack of instruction, lack of facilities and lack of discipline from the local league players and parents. Now the mid-level players are trying to form appropriate competitive events for their benefit. I personally know some teams with fees under $300 for a 20-25 game short season after local play.
If some players develop and play at a higher level that is a good thing right?
