Spearman, L., Norwood, D., & Waller, S. (n.d.). DOES THE CREAM RISE TO THE TOP? Journal of Contemporary Athletics, Volume 10, Number 2 .
In this article, the scholars discussed the opportunities available in America. America is the country with opportunities and success as long as someone works hardest. The sports is the field that also required so much effort for individuals to being recognized in the field. American propagate baseball. Scholars have suggested that college baseball is not as open as popular than it should be. The main reason behind the fact is the budget related to the sport. Traveling team may become exclusive and expensive. The research is made through the secondary data and qualitative interview protocol. The results show that as traveling team baseball or even local baseball is becoming exclusive and expensive which causes the unequal distribution of resources. The analysis shows that Participants believe that anyone can get into baseball, but privileges are unavailable which is the main problem. They can only dream about participation or becoming part of the college team. Being a part of the traveling baseball team is one of the plus factors for the recruitment of the baseball team at the college level. There are many implications for practice. Scholars suggest that the process and distribution of resources should be focused to increase the participation of the students. Otherwise, baseball is a famous sport in America, but these factors will make it difficult for students to join the sport. It indicates the one major factor for my topic that is the unequal distribution of resources for all the students which lead to difficulties for the recruitment of students at the college level. Traveling team baseball need time and money. Therefore, there is inequality then it will be difficult for the students from lower or middle class to engage in the sports. If the equal distribution is made, the middle and lower class participation can be increased.

In this article, the scholar Demarco discussed the history of baseball. Scholar explained the changes in baseball happened in the last five decades. America is the country of competition where free trade agreement is an example. Youth baseball is the element that remains part of the competition in America. Since 1950s baseball appeared as a little league organization and major league baseball at the national as well as international level. In the last thirty years, Concept of the traveling baseball team is introduced. Traveling team is not introduced into baseball only, and many other sports have this new pattern. This change also brings the different point of view of the parents toward the present baseball recruitment pattern. In the research data is collected through the interview of the parents as parents are one of the factors that decided the behavior of students towards the sports. Research results show that the students involved in the baseball majorly depend on the point of view of their parents acquired toward the traveling team. Some parents think it was good old days and see traveling baseball team too expensive and less efficient with so much wastage of time while some parents showed excitement towards traveling baseball team and they are looking forward to their children to participate in the sport. The study is important for me as previous research indicates the factor of unequal distribution of resources. This article provides the other factor that is the involvement of the parent that bring changes for student participation. Parent makes it difficult for the children for athletic recruiting. It can be because of their financial status as well. Parents who have limited sources and cannot afford traveling team, they may stop or limit the involvement of their children in sports. The other factor is also valid as parents do not understand the concept traveling team and prefer the old game pattern. They do not allow their children to participate in a sport outside the college boundary of the city.

In this article, a study is made which is directly related to the traveling team baseball. Parents, as well as young students from both high schools and colleges, find baseball as the opportunity for high-level competition. They are ready to spend their money and time to avail the opportunity of competition. The study is conducted to analyze the assumptions by the players and their parents of those who selected the baseball as a beginning of opportunity at the college level. The result shows that most of the students at college level select baseball as they take it as a successful source for high-level competition. Survey conducted through eighteen different colleges where about five hundred students participated. Results indicate that the baseball players learn about their position that us catcher, pitchers, and shortstops at an early age. While about forty percent in the baseball are the students that were involved in any other sports and they switch to the baseball as they found it more competitive and progressive. The scholar recommended that sports organization should take the factor into account so that students may specialize in one of the sports and they stay in it. Switching from one sports to the other may cause the inefficiency as well as low opportunities for the students who deserve more. The study directly discuss the traveling team, and it highlighted the factor that can be a problem for recruitment at the college level, and the factor is switching into baseball from some other sport. The students who move from one sport to others may be because of many factors. It incudes college environment, for instance, almost every college is famous for one of the sport while other sports are not promoted within the school. Therefore, students who want to be in competition get involved in the sport that their college is famous for. Other than that is the popularity, when the student finds one sport more famous tha the other, he tries to fit himself in that sport.
Dutove, J. (2016). Sport Parent Sideline Behavior in Youth Baseball and Ice Hockey.
In the article, sports behavior of Canadian youth and parents are being discussed. Scholar claim that more than seventy-five percent of Canadian children prefer to participate in youth sports. With this much high percent indicates the positive behavior of the parents for the sports especially traveling team baseball and ice hockey, but unfortunately, many parents with poor sideline are also present. They can distract from the positive attitude for the participation of their children or their desire for youth sports. The study is conducted with the help of sports management and psychologist to examine the factors that determine the behavior of parents for baseball and ice hockey. In the process, 415 hockey parents and 625 baseball parents were examined. The result shows that the factor behind the parent's behavior highly depends on their own personal experience for the support and the present situation like occurrence new sports types ‘traveling sports, stakes" become the reason of their negative point of views for one of two sports. The research is useful to eliminate the factor of parent involvement in sports by educating them. It can help for college students of Canada to participate more in the sports. This study is important for my topic as it shows the result which can help or even discourage the students for baseball recruiting. From this and one of the previous article, it is indicated that parents are one of the most important factors for the athlete's recruitment. Which means participations with the traveling team can be beneficial for the recruiting of student only when the parent's involvement is positive. Also, we can conclude that students can become the part of traveling baseball team only with the involvement of parents and when they get participated in traveling baseball team and then recruiting at the college level can be easy.
Ramos,Renee.Latino/a College Student-Athletes: Influences on Recruitment, Enrollment and Degree Completion .2018
The article is related to Latino collegiate students. America is a diverse country where the Latino population is increasing in the past few years. The increase in the Latino population does not impact the participation of Latino students within the sports. The study used ecological system theory and also the correlation between students behavior with culture, different system, family development, and educational policy. Different factors like perceived challenges, comparison with other institution, and other support issues are examined in the research. Perceived challenges include family background, financial status and access to the opportunities. The comparison is a crucial factor as it develops the competitive spirit in the students. Support issue plays a vital role because when there are a clear path and instructions from the institute and coaches for the student's guidance, it helps them in athletic recruiting. Interviews from six former Latino students were also conducted to get an efficient result. The interviews result shows that the different theme impacts the students. It includes Influencers and exposers to the college, identities through ethics and race representation, educational perception, opportunities and support from the organization as well as family, lastly relationship with teammates and coaches. These are the elements that restricted or can enhance the participation of the Latino student to the sport at the college level. Their present participation is less which means these factors are not taking into account and their negative impact is creating hurdles for the students. Scholars suggested that the administrations and coaches should play their role by connecting the Latino students to institutional sports. Parents involvement and visibility of these students can give a positive result. Lastly, club coaches and inter-college competition like traveling team can develop the interest of the students. The research is relevant to my topic as it indicates that it is not enough for the part or traveling team, many other factors help in recruitment. Firstly family background can help in participation in the traveling team, but if there is no proper guidance and connection with college organization, it may make it difficult in baseball recruiting

The article focuses on the student's viewpoint about their parent involvement in sports. Parent involvement is one of the crucial factors that define the effectiveness and involvement of their children in traveling baseball. Therefore scholars made the research to examine the student's point of view over the behavior of their parents for sports. For the research, scholars collected the data from sixteen focus group interviews. The result shows that the students understand the various aspects of the sports activity which distinguish between the undesirable and acceptable form of involvement of parents. When parents take sports activity as an activity which is good for health and can enhance physical strength, then the parents are so much involvement with their children in sports. When it comes as a professional, parents make choices, and they draw limitation and boundaries for their children. Therefore young students should not consider their parent's involvement just as a subject but also as active con-constructors of their role. The research is useful to identify the traveling team baseball impact on college students because research shows that parents basically take sports as an activity which is good for their children's fitness rather than let them choose it as a profession. Therefore in case of traveling baseball team, it can create hurdle as parents can create boundaries for their children for the recruitment from college club or organization. It is as simple to understand that if parents are just not interested in supporting their children for participation in sports at the professional level, the traveling team will be just a dream. Also traveling team baseball is one of the effective ways for the student to learn more and enhance skills which means students may lead to lack of polished skills and experiences.
Hextrum, K. (2018). The Hidden Curriculum of College Athletic Recruitment. Harvard Educational Review, 88(3), 355–377.
In this article, Kirsten explains about the institutional avenues that creates a limitation in upward mobility pf opportunities. Scholar considers the issue by identifying the hidden curriculum of traveling baseball recruitment which can favor the students, especially for the privilege background students. The information is collected from National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1. Interviews were conducted from different universities. The hidden curriculum is classified into three phases by the Kirsten. These phases include socialization, covert, and overt selection. The issue of discrimination on the basis of status is highlighted in the research. Interviews indicated that the elite class has more opportunities and access toward recruitment than the middle class of white people. To avoid the situation, social reproduction is required. Here one interesting result is developed that although elites have more access toward the recruiting themselves white, middle class emerge more. Findings show that the available public curriculum to increase the students involved in the sports comes from the NCAA; it is the sports governing body. They regulate various features of athletic recruitment while the hidden curriculum is the access of universities for student's recruitment. Three phases of the hidden curriculum are discussed, in which socialization means the attitude, behavior, and norms of the students for the sport. Social behavior derives the other two phases in which students from different backgrounds get access and a comfortable environment for participation. Therefore socialization helps in social reproduction. Scholar recommended that the colleges and universities should develop a transparent and uniform method for athletic recruiting and there should no biases during the selection. The study is useful for my topic as a result can be used to compare the traveling baseball team and the college recruitment process. It is not enough to be the part of traveling baseball team as when you want to be athletic recruiting then it is the college that plays a crucial role. It means that the three phases discussed by the scholar must be understood and take into account so that it can help to get recruited at a college level. Here one thing should be noticed that the scholar talk about the socialization and traveling team can show its significant role as a traveling team gets more opportunities to interact with different people. It enhances communication and decision-making skills. Therefore traveling team somehow become part of social reproduction which in result put a positive impact on student's recruitment at the college level.
