What's this?

Both my grandson 12 and my granddaughter 10 play competitive travel ball.


After pool play the boys may play 3 baseball games in a day but the girls frequently play 4 or 5 softball games a day. Top level teams spend a lot of time on conditioning in the off season.
Both my grandkids pitch which is much more of an issue for the boys than girls.
Boys are limited by pitch count but girls can pitch as much as they can physically handle.

Serious ball players typically are getting weekly pitching and hitting lessons in addition to regular team workouts.
So yes it is a huge time and financial commitment for parents and kids.
