  3. Gladiator Baseball

    i know a lot of players that are very good players that arent gladiators and never will be & dont want to be.for every person that thinks walker & his so called pro trainers are great there are 3 people that think they are terrible.for $35 FOR 30 MIN. $15OO A WEEK $5000-$6000 A MONTH.how do you justify that kind of money?by winning & if you can play a division lower(sanbagging) all the time you got it made.we can argue all day but any one that knows baseball & is honest knows the gladiators should have been moved up months ago.just goes to show u that nations is no better then usssa,the only diff. is usssa is cheaper. 

    Wow only three people think they are terrible. Sound like pretty good trainers to me

  8. Select Baseball

    Not gonna Bash you El Tigre. Enjoyed the post, just can't say that I totally agree.

    Can't say that it's an ego boost to say my kid is on a select team but I can say that I am proud of him and of the others that are on his team. Just because a parent says his kid is on a select team doesn't mean he thinks his kid is better than any other kid. My son got selected to play on the Gladiators last season and since then baseball is all he talks about. He does like Little League but gets much more from Gladiator Baseball. 

    I'm not in it for an ego boost. I'm in it because my kid loves it and I'm not going to take that away from him. When he gets older he may change his mind but now he is having way to much fun. Also,  I'm having a blast watching these kids play. They all love it.

    You said something about Fame and Fortune, not sure how you get fame and fortune from select. Would you care to elaborate?

    I also do not believe that Select Killed League..for example Look @ Bridge City, I feel that there All Star Teams are so good because the majority of them play Select.

    Very good points from all. Last spring I coached my sons 7-8 yr old team which had 13 players on it. 10 could play on the field and we would roster bat. All kids had to play at least 2 innings. So to satisfy the parents I made sure my son sat out more than any kid. @ the end of the season I added up the innings he sat out and it equaled 5 games out of 15. Also he was lucky to get to bat twice during the game. That being said he still wants to play league to be with kids he hangs around @ school but as far as experience and learning the game select IMO is better for him. The kids he plays with in select make him a much better player and he has a blast with it. He is always asking when the next tourney is so we can go stay in a hotel. (YUK)

    More than likely my son will not make the pros but I want to give him the things that were not offered to me when I was that age. I'm going to let him play as much as he wants as long as I see that he is having fun.

    I have heard the same thing. My case doesn't sound as extreme as yours but after my son's first season of select Baseball that is all he wants to do. I do think that there are those that do get burned out but if they really love the game they will always want to play. I think the best example of that is the 16 yr. old phenom (Bryce Harper) that is on the cover of sports illustrated. There is a pretty cool article about him you should read if you haven't already. Bottom line is you know what is right for your son so if baseball is what he likes then let him play as much as he can as long as he is having fun. I think its hard to get burned out when your having fun. ;D Oh and if you are wondering why I'm posting so early in the morning I've got 2 words..SHIFT WORK :(

  14. Little League Playing UP

    That's kinda how i look @ it Scalp'em. The kids figure out real quick that if they get 4 balls the coach comes out instead of looking for a good pitch. My son isn't an elite player but I do think the older kids and the competitiveness of the next league will make him better. I'm not gonna lie I do worry about him getting hit by a pitch and never wanting to step back in the box. I've seen him become a much better player playing with kids on his select team that are really good ball players. He is going to play Rookie this Fall and hopefully he will be ready for Texas next spring. Maybe he will grow some by then as well. Thanks for your input.
