Just got word that the Lamorinda Spartans went 4-0 this past weekend in the 12U TPR July Classic. Proud of you boys!

Let’s get after it in practice this week.

The official roster is set for the 10U Knights — looking forward to working with the smaller group. Timing is everything. This week it’s discipline, keeping the double play in order, and communication. Control what you can. Hustle 1st!

I want to give a huge shout out to the Lamorinda Immortals, who competed in the East Cobb tournament in Georgia and finished 2nd. Although they didn’t win it all, they competed each game and continued to play well together. They’ve been working hard all summer, in the valley heat, preparing for the grueling tournament schedules.

Let’s keep grinding.
Keep up the good work!

Pay to Play

2 more weeks of school left and I can’t wait for summer!  If you couldn’t tell from my earlier posts, I’m a fan of sunshine and baseball, what could be better?

I just missed the travel ball era.  Growing up in the 90’s and playing my most competitive ball in the past decade, the business of paying to play missed my peer group.  Besides the elite showcases such as Area Codes, or the Arizona showcase in Peoria (Mariner/Padres complex) and things like Team USA, there wasn’t a huge push to play beyond your all-star teams.  With talent spread thin and the level of competition differing league to league and within it, team to team, families and players are finding themselves having to seek out a competitive environment.

I’ll leave this as is right now…I’d love to hear from others about their experiences with the “pay to play” era.
