Most parents and grandparents know that there is a cost to playing travel baseball. Unfortunately, the cost just keeps going up and up and is becoming unaffordable for many families. At D1D National, we know this and that’s why we do things so radically different than other expensive travel programs. While we will NEVER sacrifice quality to save money, we have found many ways to keep our program affordable for most families. 

Who has a bottomless bank account for travel baseball? 

We know that most families don’t have endless funds to spend on travel baseball so we focus on value. That is what our families want and deserve. Unfortunately, many of them have already experienced the disappointment of playing in a program that offers little, or no value. We call this expensive travel baseball. Rest assured, D1D National has packed the value in to this program. Here’s what you can expect at D1D National 

• High quality events
• Professional Coaching. Yes, our coaches are paid! 
• Background checks for all coaches
• Honest and accurate evaluations
• Professionally written Individual Development plan
• Promotion and exposure to college coaches
• Social media guidance
• Professional uniform package from Under Armour
• Well defined policies and procedures
• Robust Player Profile Page and back office
• Professional online training course for players, parents and coaches
• Player insurance

D1D National uses one of the easiest and most lucrative fundraising strategies in all of youth sports. Players are typically able to offset some, or all, of their player fees with our optional fundraising program. We know money can sometimes be a challenge, but don’t stress; we have you covered. We’ll never let money (or lack thereof) be the reason a talented player misses an opportunity of a lifetime. 

Our backoffice registration system is super easy to use. When registering it will give you the option to pay in full, or set up payment plans. Easy! 

Occasionally we run in to very unique hardship cases where a family simply does not have the resources to do this. In many cases, we will work hard to “find the money” for a deserving family. We have an application for special cases on an individual basis. 

Some travel programs are charging $5,000 or more to play travel baseball, while at the same time, delivering almost no value. We almost feel like we need to apologize for the greed that has infiltrated the wonderful game of baseball at the youth level. Suffice it to say, our player fees are nowhere close to that. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how affordable our elite level program is. 

Our program is not a cookie cutter program. Every team is different and there are many variables that impact player fees. Rarely do two of our teams have the same player fees. Location, schedule, special events, number of players on the roster, age of the team and many other factors influence the player fee amount. For this reason, we will discuss the player fees with our families once they have been officially invited to the program.
