There was an expose’ on a very poor area in south Florida where the kids only way out of poverty shipping to play pro ball. Thai was on a few years back. I think some pro footballers were coaching the leagues. I think there’s a similar program in other southern cities. This was league programs prior to schools but was designed to give these kids a head start. Similar to those Cuban and Puerto Rico training camps for baseball. Hoping to come to America and play.

Heck look at all those travel ball teams and specialized training.

I played little league and nothing like that was around way back then. 😂
