My son was invited to "try out" for the Under Armour National Team by The Baseball Factory. We went to the try out and was given a very well rehearsed spill about the program. They made it sound like you had to be good enough to make a spot, and that it was all about showcaseing for college.
Well low and behold... My son made it! $3500 airfare later... It turned out the team was any kid that paid the price to go there. The team was terrible. They looked like the bad news bears. And the coaching was even worse!
If this was to "showcase" an athlete for college scouts... It did just the opposite!!! Don't fall for the hipe! Even if your son is an outstanding player, he may be playing with some rich kid wantabe's!
