Taking a break?

What's on your mind?

Taking a break? How much
break should you take?
Why do some not want to
take a break? When to take a break?

This discussion can go round and round.
Notice there are teams that take break now. In fact almost every team I know shut it down for atleast four weeks right now.

Really don't think people want travel ball to shut down for two or three months. At least not here in California. How about in other states what's the down time due to the weather?

In the northeast things generally shutdown after nationals. Pick up briefly in the fall. Too cold nov through mar. Indoor workouts. HS ball starts in March and April(also too cold). Travel starts in June after players HS season ends

Take a break after Nationals and shut down for the week of Thanksgiving through end of Feb.

A week or 2 after nationals and then it's time for tryouts for the new year and then a couple weeks for the winter solstice and new years bowl games then hat back at it.



Usually have private tryouts for the winter solstice/new years break.
