I don't make all my kid's games. You have to do what you have to do to get it all done. My older kid hates baseball, so often times he and I go fishing on Sat and get the around the house chores done and then we catch the Sunday games. My kid is pretty good (9U). Im not sure if he's going to play after high school or not? But if you don't put them in the best practice/game situations and competition they do not advance as quickly learning the game. My wife and I discussed it before we jumped in. When your kid has noticeable talent, how would you feel if not allowing your kid the best opportunities keep him from playing down the road after high school? It's a judgement call you have to make. We wanted to give him some opportunities to see how he advances. So far, he is having fun and enjoying it, learning, and playing well. So we are happy we decided to let him go for it.
I have noticed quite a bit of difference between the average leauge ball kid's skill level and the average travel ball kids skill level we play. Not saying there arent some good leauge players, not at all.. but the teams we play are usually more advanced across the board.
