Here in west central Indiana, we have a local league that takes all comers. The teams have tryouts at the beginning of the year, teams are selected and they go. They have no geographic boundaries. Or I could put together my own team from anywhere I wish and enter them into this league as a league team. They have a very short league season and then the league teams travel. Is this typical practice in other areas? It seems to me that they are just shelter for travel teams looking to hide their classification. I live in a smaller adjacent community. Many of the better girls from our area go there to play. Some girls play in our league and on a travel team playing in their league. Just wondering if this is common practice elsewhere.
