Travel Teams
Skylands Girls Fastpitch travel teams, “The Pride” are committed to providing players with a rich and fun softball experience.
We are focused on team spirit and providing ample opportunities for
players to further develop their softball skills via advanced
training and higher competitive play in both league and tournament
play. Each of the teams will have the opportunity to compete
for a league and multiple tournament championships.
If you plan to play for The Pride, please know that the commitment
to the team shall run from mid-Spring to July 31st. Players
must be committed to the team and are expected to be available for
practices, games and weekend tournaments 100% of the time (unless
prior arrangements have been made with the team manager).
Each of the
travel teams will participate in the Mid-States Summer League which
begins in mid-June. League play will consist of 2 weekday
games (home and away) for 5-6 weeks followed by playoffs - all
concluding by July 31. In addition, each of the teams will
participate in 3 or more weekend tournaments in the time period
between mid-April and July 31 (schedule TBD). Tournaments are
typically within a 2 hour drive.
Team activity from March to mid-June will be light to allow for
school and spring league commitments (typically 1 practice per week
and possibly a tournament in April / May). It is recommended
that summer vacations and/or camps be planned after July 31.
Each team will carry 12-13 players. Being selected to the team
does not guarantee playing time in each and every game but every
player will get ample playing opportunities.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The final roster of 12 or 13 players may
not be immediately determined after the initial tryouts. Managers
reserve the right to hold roster spots open in order to address
needed skill sets (I.E. Pitching, Catching).
