10u Travel Ball?
The teams in this area tend to focus on getting as much talent as possible and putting multiple teams up in the same division. For example one of the "select" organizations is fielding 3 different 10U teams but can't keep them filled. That is why I said the risk was still there even with the...- deaconce

Advice needed on how to not run up the score (8u rec)
I am the Asst. Coach on my daughters 8U team and we were just accused of "running up" the score.
