Starting a team is not easy. Go play on one next year and learn the ins and outs. Many teams hold “open” practice, where you get to go practice with a travel ball team. It’s not a tryout, just a practice. They are usually on Sunday afternoon and 3 hours long. I’m guessing he was born in 2012. See if you can find that age if not he will have to play with the 2011 group.

The coaches in rec ball are not paid. Just because you payed your $50 or whatever does not mean the volunteer coaches are going to give your kids 1 on 1 private lessons. You have to pay extra for that. Our all star team lost 22-6 today to a team that we beat 23-10 last tournament. Every day is different with kids.
