Levels of Play: For the 2013-2014 Softball Season we will field teams in the 7U/8U/9U/10U/11U/12U/13U/14U/15U/16U divisions. Within these divisions we will be offering two different levels of travel softball:
Travel Priority: These teams will strive to play and compete with the best teams in the Midwest. Fields of potential play will be in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and to qualify and to play in a “World Series”. A Travel Priority team will play in 10+ Tournaments per year. While these teams are still Little League friendly, the Travel games are priority over any Little League function.
Local Travel: These teams will be learning to compete with other Michiana teams in the fundamentals and the development of quality players. These teams will primarily stay within the greater Michiana area for the bulk of their 5-6 tournaments. This team is Little League friendly with Little League as a priority.
