Travel Team Status

The 2025 Travel Team draws its players from the recreation league.

It is comprised of 2 rosters:

• 6th-8th grade (U14)

• 4th-5th grade (U12)

Those players included on the travel team roster are invited to participate in several additional events held over the regular rec season.

Coaches - Instead of asking coaches to facilitate a practice for their team, we ask they refer their 1st grade+ players to our Saturday practice. This means that instead of all coaches hosting individual weekly practices (32coaches x 7sessions = 224 separate events) we as an organization can provide a weekly practice for all interested players at the highest level of quality for the volunteer cost (4coaches x 7sessions) of only 28 individual events.

Player Improvement - The players that practice more through participating in regular practice will naturally tend to stand out on the playing field.

Player Recruitment - The board relies on rec league coaches to identify their best players for recommendation to the travel team. The board will reach out at the end of the rec season to collect the names of the best players from each team to build the prospective travel team roster. An invitation for next season's travel team will be sent out to players on the prospective roster at the end of the rec season. When travel team registration re-opens in January, prospective players will be contacted, and if confirmed, registered.
