@CoachMarcusHill Agree to an extent, however, a ton of LL teams are coached by the same parents that coach their kids in travel/club ball.
Also, travel ball ABSOLUTELY has its place, BUT it should not come at cost or expense of LL. Parents are mostly to blame btw

@coachzblair10 Raw speed can be coached to translate into speed on bases, but efficiency in running bases can’t be coached into raw speed. A 30 is too short and does not allow for top raw speed
