If you have kids playing baseball, this is worth reading.
Somewhere along the way, we started acting like every kid has to play travel ball.
The truth is, for many families, the best baseball memories are still made with your hometown team and your best friends.
You play all spring together, and leagues like ACME let those friendships continue well into the summer.
Not every kid needs to chase showcases or tournaments to have an incredible baseball experience.
Sometimes the best development happens while competing with the friends you’ve grown up with.
Those are the memories that last a lifetime.
You have to pay it or your kid won't get to a power 5 and all of the access to coaches and training. I wish we tracked this information to show parents. Play local and you will be just fine.
Y’ALL PAY IT!
Stop!
Play local. Your kid isn’t in a better position bc he plays in these tournaments.
You keep paying, they keep charging.
We charge $0 to get into our park AND we’ve been asked to. Not charging parent to watch their kids.
$100 an age. 13 should pay $1300
Legion is built different. You can’t pay to play. You earn it. And we play a real tournament!
Unlike others where you play your games & go home, postseason is survival of the fittest. True double-elimination, local pride on the line, & you have to win to stay alive. 😤
Mike Bianco said, "Once your commitment is greater than your feelings, that's when you get results. That's when it happens for you."
Most people never figure this out.
Commitment is a choice.
It's choosing long-term growth over short-term comfort.

Huge congratulations to these four and good luck with the rest of their academic and athletic careers! 🟫🟨

@austinbuescher3 is up for Dispatch Football Player of the Week! 🏈🔥 Let’s get behind him with the votes! Who knows… if he wins, maybe we’ll see him on the mound this spring 👀⚾
Week 1 and he's already making a statement! 🏈 🔥 Couldn't be more proud of my son for earning Football Player of the Week! Hard work paying off - big things ahead this season! 💪
Coaching is a year round commitment. Guys call and ask to hit before weekend tournaments, so you open it up for open hitting.

Individual honors come with TEAM success.
Congratulations to our guys on their pre-season honors and setting the bar for the TEAM.

I’m very excited to announce my commitment to play baseball at Frontier Community College. I would like to thank God for this opportunity and everyone who has helped me along the way. I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity. Go Bobcats
