This thread isn't in my lane of life really but I have gotten an interesting insight into summer club teams. I can only imagine what they charge parents for this, using some kind of implied or direct pitch that their kid is "really good" and is going to punch his ticket to a scholarship someday. I have a friend whose kid is 10, and just starting to do this stuff. Went to one of the last games of their little league season and....he is not good. And he looks absolutely bored out of his mind. And they're giving up a summer of family activities to chase this baseball dream. I feel like a judgey Karen saying this, and I'll keep it to myself, but, it all feels a scam.
