Our GVGS traveling teams are designed to allow our players to compete in highly competitive levels against teams from other communities. At the heart of the travel program is the opportunity for players to play in a more competitive environment than what our typical house league provides and against highly skilled players. Typically the teams that our traveling players compete against practice and play slow pitch softball all year long and participate exclusively in travelling tournaments around the state and at times a national level.
It has not been our league practice to hold tryouts for the players participating in our traveling program. The GVGS traveling program is led by dedicated GVGS volunteer coaches and the teams are made up of players selected by these coaches. There is a significant amount of time invested by our coaches and criteria for team selection may include a players attitude, skill, and willingness to participate in several weekend long tournaments throughout the Summer.
There is a requirement that all players representing GVGS in traveling tournaments be participants in our house league during our regular season for all age groups except 19U. All 19 U players must have played and to have been in good standing with our league for the years they did participate.
Travel teams are broken down into the following age groups: (Players fall into the bracket for the age they were on January 1st of that year of play.
10 U
Players who were 10 years old or under as of January 1, 2008
12 U
Players who were 12 years old or under as of January 1, 2006
14 U
Players who were 14 years old or under as of January 1, 2004
16 U
Players who were 16 years old or under as of January 1, 2002
19 U

In conclusion, our GVGS traveling program allows for players in this program to experience the game in a highly competitive environment while at the same time enjoying new relationships and a chance to demonstrate sportsmanship with other communities.
