If your serious about it you should do your own homework. Call the organizations,send emails ask questions. Don't rely on people on the site that don't like other organizations except their own. It's your son do your own homework. Any organization that doesn't return your calls then not the place to be.

i agree...but i wouldn't only call as these organizations will only try to sell you on why they are the best. I would go to watch some games and see how the coaches, players, parents act....you need to ask lots of questions around the NJBL, BBH, PAL, etc.

I would say call and talk to these people. First you wanted to know if the free baseball is a gimmack. Usually not as they are simply trying to put together a top team. Free from what i cantell has usually meant free.

Thanks everyone for your tips. I’m new to the area and I stumbled upon this website. I do know enough to go watch a few games and see how the teams conduct themselves on the field. The only problem is not all teams play the fall season and tryouts are usually in the spring. I have read a lot of you post on this site and it seems that there are a few teams to stay away from in the 9u. I guess I will continue to do my home work. Thanks again.
