Flipp:

I would do it. What you describe is very similar with the way most teams here in AZ do it. But if you are uncomfortable, you essentially are at the end of the part of LL that matters and I imagine you will be off on your own beginning next fall anyway. Best of luck.

I will close by saying that, especially in MN, the more baseball they play the better off they are, especially where the opportunities are so severely limited by the weather.

Not sure how familiar you are with youth baseball in Minnesota but the area we live in is known for producing some pretty good teams/players.

I have spoken to the head of MYAS (several times) because at one point I was deciding whether or not to put my son on a neighboring traveling team. In fact, this person is the one that suggested to me to put together a team for the AAU 12U national qualifier.

I still have time and if I can get the players I'll have a team. If I get the players I want we'll be able to compete with, at the very least, the other Minnesota teams.

Thanks for the advice.

Jason

(edited: Just saw your post jemaz. I hadn't quite thought about being at the end of the LL run. Good point. Very true about the weather factor as well.)

I agree with Flipp. I took a 12u team up to Burnsville two years in a row. My younger son played up one year and the next year when he was actually 12 we went again. The AAU nationals for 12u have been held there for several years and they do an awesome job putting it on. The first year we finished 11 and the next 7th. We actually played a team from Minnesota one year. You need to make sure that you play D-1 because the competition of the D-2 teams is not nearly as competitive. Flipp were you with the San Diego Stars?

Sorry Flipp that last question about the San Diego Stars was for SDBB.
