Do you have facts to back this up? Because I have facts that prove otherwise.
My DD's last travel team has been to NYC, Reno, and Boulder (twice) in the last 2 summer seasons and they are traveling to New Jersey, Boulder and Reno this summer and none of these are for qualifiers.
I'll bet if you looked at the schedules for the vast majority of So Cal travel teams you'll see that they do travel quite a bit.
The truth of it is, like Texas and a few other select markets there is no need to travel far to play top notch competition so why do it? The only time to travel is for Nationals and right now with PGF leading the way, a lot of the best national tourneys are right here in So Cal.
But to say that we "don't play travel ball anymore" is just incorrect.
