While I enjoy watching the Little League World Series, I wish other leagues would have their playoffs televised. My sonÂ’s team has played in AABC and USSSA leagues for years and I have seen some teams that would embarrass the best Little League All Star teams.
We played in the Cooperstown Dreams Park tournament last year and the Little League All Star teams that were there, were not of the caliber of many of the other teams. In our area, Little League has just about died. Most kids want to play regular baseball. We start leading off in our 9/10 league and have the larger distances for the mound and bases. We use continuous batting orders and free substitutions so all kids play more than just one at bat or three outs. I like the idea of taking the best off of each team to make an All Star team; I also see the merit in keeping the team together in the post season as we do.
