I was part of a travel team that played in a rec league. This was baseball and it was about 10 years ago though.
We were all from the same district and grew up playing at that park. We allowed the team to be separated during the regular season and then all of us would make the All-star team and play together.
I don't see the problem with how we did it but lots of people had problems with it for some reason. It was our dream as little kids to play in the little league World Series so why should we be banned from ever getting a shot at it? Your kid got a fair shake at making the All star team so what's the problem?
We ended up choking at the end of the state tournament for little league but we ended up being number 1 in the state in travel for a 2-3 year stretch.

Don't have kids. I coach my nephews team. This is a regular season team that plays travel.
Teams we played before weren't in district as is this team. The guy over the county runs this particular Rec department.
That's what my argument is. Why do travel ball players and coaches feel they need to interact with rec? Is it practice? Yes.Is it because they really aren't that good to win travel? Yes.
Leave the kids that don't want to play travel and ones that can't make it in their own league.
That's my argument.
