One problem with entry level travel ball teams, which can include 2nd or 3rd teams in larger organizations, is it is hard to find competitive tournament options that match the ongoing development of each team. Teams want to do tournaments, but they don't want to have a bad experience by playing unbalanced games, especially on Saturdays.
