JJ, what is the total per year for your oldest soon-to-be collegiate superstar?
No beemer. I don't think anyone in the org is making a bunch of money, I think they just make some poor decisions and overspend in some areas and are not structured in a lean way.

They really are good guys, I just think they do not make keeping the sport accessible financially to the widest possible swath of families is a top priority.
I have such a hard time keeping in line when I see things i think are wrong and right now I think the costs of this sport have gotten out of hand and it really makes me want to explore alternative models and not the 11 month a year travel ball regiment. I think there is a way they can play rec in fall, HS in spring and join up with the team for the summer season only. That fits our family's cost/committment level a whole lot more that year round ball and I do not think their play will suffer.
Since.....Instead of playing TB they are spending their $$ (and they have lots of it!) with personal one-on-one coaches!
Why don't they coach there own kids being 'WS MVP'S' and all.They also spend a lot of time (because they can) doing repetition work during the week on lessons learned by their coaches
One had said to me that "he doesn't understand why parents spend so much $$ on TB and not "one-on-one lessons"?
One had said to me that "he doesn't understand why parents spend so much $$ on TB and not "one-on-one lessons"? Sounds good to me! Both of these guys came from really small colleges and were scouted at their college games. They did not play TB and both had outside coaches during the week. (On a side note I have seen both of their kids play school ball and they are OUTSTANDING players and very disciplined! GO AHEAD AND LET THE RIPPING BEGIN :0)
Only rip I have is .....
