  Travel Program Facts:

Fee: $225

·        The fee is designed to cover ordinary team expenses during the season, e.g. equipment, indoor practice field rental, league fees, umpires, etc.  Each player must also purchase her own uniform if she does not already have a uniform from the prior year.  Fundraising by teams may be required if individual team expenses exceed the fees paid.  Each travel team will be responsible to fund its own expenses during the year. (An example of extraordinary expenses: additional tournament play.)  

·        Parents can register players to tryout either on-line or by going to the office to sign the registration book.  Once registered the players need to arrive at tryouts a few minutes early to check in.  Check in requires a completed application form, including the fee.  For players making a team, the fee is non-refundable.  For players not making a team, the check is returned to the parents.

Schedule:

·         League play typically begins during the first week of June and continues through the end of July.  Teams may choose to play in tournaments prior to league play. 

·         U10, U12, and U14 teams play a combination of league play, two nights per week (Mondays and Wednesdays OR Tuesdays and Thursdays), and some tournaments, depending upon the team’s competitive level. 

·        Teams typically hold practices throughout the Winter and Spring.  The number of practice sessions will increase during the Spring and prior to the season.  U14 teams will hold practices sessions throughout the Winter until tryouts begin for school ball.  Practice sessions will begin again after the school softball season.  Travel softball does not interfere with middle school and high school softball.   Practices may continue throughout the travel softball season.

Commitment:

·         Youth are selected to participate in the travel softball program through an evaluation and selection process.

·         Girls who are selected to participate in the Dublin Travel softball Program must be willing to make a substantial commitment of time to the team.  Attending team practices, games and functions is expected.
