Truth is just as there's rec players, there's rec umpires, and rec coaches. Most rec coaches have good intentions, but lack the skill to point out, correct and enable fundamental throwing, hitting and pitching skills. Talent will move players to travel, then let the TB coach's experience teach and nurture development. If the coach is all about winning, then look elsewhere, especially at the younger ages.

Yup. There's a lot of raw talent out there that is limited to travel due to Financial shortcomings. There's some that belong but can't, and there are others who can but don't belong
