My brother and family relocated to Robertsdale this month, they want us to move there as well and be closer to our parents who are now Florida residents. I have a 15 year old son who loves football and baseball and my concern is moving from our current location when he's going to be a junior next year and the last 2 years of high school are critical for any type of scholarship. Is Robertsdale a great area for him to play these sports and possibly receive a scholarship?

Have you seen Robertsdale? It is rural country land. Schools are terrible. Very poverty stricken. Hope you like being in the middle of nowhere! If you insist on Southern Alabama- try the Eastern Shore. 30 minutes away. Completly different world. There is money and professionals on the shore.

i would try foley over robertsdale. foley is not on the eastern shore, but it is pretty nice community. a bit bigger and livelier than robertsdale.

and foley's football program is better than robertsdale...

Some people just have to be negative:>)

Baldwin County is one of the fastest growing areas in the US. Have you visited there?

This may give you a start for your research.
