Colorado

Posted by Colorado on February 16, 2026, 2:03 pm

Couple Questions about Colorado. First time going this year with a weak 16u team. Zero pitching. I know our team will be playing in the lower division but my question is, is this a waste or just an experience for the players? Eveyone on our team has zero chance of playing D1 and I heard many of these camps are a pure money grab. What should we do before the games start? Any ideas would be great.

Colorado is a joke unless you are on the main fields. Treat it like a vacation.

Let's recap. Weak team. No pitching. Low division. Zero division 1 talent.

Travel 16 hours, spend thousands of dollars and let's have a fun time! This has to be a fake post. You can't be serious

I wouldn't say it's fake. Parents are probably part of the congregation at church

It's a trip all players should take, enjoy it as a family. Zip line, rafting, team dinner

If you're not worried about college coach eyeballs, just go and have a great time with your daughter. Skip the camps. Spend the money on a rafting or ride.

All levels are run exceptionally well.

It's a trip you'll always remember.

It's a great trip/vacation regardless of the softball. Tournaments are run incredibly well, except for the scheduling. You have a lot of free time, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

A lot of coaches there, besides the DI level, make the best of your time.

Go rafting.

If what you are staying is true, stay home. Sounds like a very expensive vacation. Maybe go back and read the news article recently posted here about how travel ball is making everyone broke.

I agree hike a mountain, try some mushrooms? @have a sense of humor about how far those kids can hit the ball off your pitchers

Hitting at altitude is a real thing. Extra distance for everyone. I got all puffed about the kids' power the first year until I realized it worked for everyone. Rough week for average pitching.
