- 13 to 15 players per roster. No practice-only players.
- All players are full participants in practices and have complete access to the player development program
- Games will utilize a 10 player lineup, with subs. All players play and get at least 1 at bat, and 6 outs in the field. This will encourage competition and reward the players that are ready to compete at the travel ball level.
- There will be a feedback mechanism so each player and family understands what the player can work on to receive more playing time.
- This system rewards the top performing players and creates a much more competitive game environment.
- These teams will NOT receive inferior coaching or less attention from the club.
