As you probably know, there are various skill levels, as there are in flat-belly ball. The upper levels are especially competitive, but you will find good players at all levels. I've been involved with a couple of senior teams that surprised some of the younger guys in open tournaments. You will find plenty of outstanding hitters, including many who still go yard -- even in some of the higher age groups. Lots of good defensive players, also. Of course, generally guys will be slower. If you get into tournament ball (and it sounds like that's what you've been doing with the kids), expect to spend a lot of time and money on travel, unless you can hook up with a very well sponsored team. |
