[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 300361, member: 3132"] Its not just East Cobb and I don't even think at this point it is the organizations perpetuating the "year round" race (although they may have started the ball rolling). 12u to 18u baseball is an arms race (no pun intended). The majority of kids playing think they are going to play at the next level (i.e., college). The majority feel like they MUST play year 'round to avoid letting others get ahead of them and continue to improve their skills. It is a rarity to find a kid (or his parents) who either (a) understand that there is more to life than playing baseball in college or (b) are confident enough in their talent (or their kids talent) that they realize and make the choice not to play year round. Everyone (with maybe the exception of multi-sport athletes) do it and without some major shift, we aren't going back. [/QUOTE]
