Tha Wrong Juan
I'll do the best I can to answer. The designation to be "local" or " national" is basically a mutual agreement between D-bat Softball and the coach. In other words we chose to be local for several reasons: cheaper dues, less travel, still developing, and a few less significant reasons. When D-Bat was looking for a national team, I am sure that several expressed interest, and the Blacksox were the right fit. While I do not know the details of their budget, I know that they will be playing in at least one national tourney, while most of the tourneys we play in will be in and around the Metroplex. We seek to play the best in the area in order to make ourselves better. While I would hate to lose any of my current players, if one ever decided that they wanted the more extensive travel and opportunities offered by the Blacksox team, and the staff of that team wanted them, I would not stand in their way, but I really don't think much of that will happen until 2nd year 12U or later. I hope I have explained this well.
