So what if anything can we expect from legion ball? I know we have a few kids opting out in favor of work or travel ball.

Legion ball is a great option for those who don't have a travel team. It could also benefit a kid who hasn't played for the coach before, so when the next year comes around they know what to expect out of each other. I've heard Turlock will have two teams like Pitman. I think the in-coming freshman will benefit the most by getting their feet wet now rather than waiting till February.

legion: for the most part rec league ball.......some good games depending on the tournaments entered.......some tough ones down in fresno (clovis west)
pros: giving the Varsity coach an in depth chance to see you playing in game like situations getting a chance to play with the older kids and learning the system. sneak peak at the increase in speed of the game......somewhere between JV and V, but closer to JV
cons: no umpires equal time (for the most part) scores are irrelevant (except in tournaments) HOT AS HELL faded jerseys (ok, i had to get that one in!! LOL)

I know we have a few kids opting out in favor of work or travel ball. play legion ball.......if legion games and travel games interfere talk it over with legion coach......arrangements can be made............what you don't want is a coach thinking a player isn't committed to HS and getting blackballed...... most of my players haven't had problems with their coaches about travel.........well 1 of my players was threatened with being put in the dog house if he went to a tournament in Oklahoma (SUN BELT CLASSIC---highest recruited tournament in the country) instead of a doubler header against a no name school...........but it was OK in the end.....he got a scholarship to an IVY League School and was too valuable to be put in the dog house

Thanks Mark - Jens was always going to play but I had heard it wasn't exactly stellar baseball. I know a couple of the better players have opted out. I am concerned about pitching during those weeks when we have 6 games and a tournament.

I saw the guys practice and they looked pretty good. The 8th graders looked especially solid.

6 legion games and our travel team has a tournament (4gg) the following weekend. DH on June 1, 2 and 4 then a tournament on 6/6-6/7. No whining here. Just wondered how they handle the pitching is all. You're right 10 games in 7 days.
