STMA Travel
After playing at the in-house level, girls are offered an opportunity to try out and play in a more competitive traveling league. Traveling softball requires a greater commitment from both players and parents. Each participant is expected to attend all scheduled practices, league games, and weekend tournaments during the season. Unexcused absences will be dealt with at the discretion of the coaches. Emphasis is on skill development, teamwork, cooperation, sportsmanship, and respect for others.
Recognizing that individuals will have different skills and needs, a positive environment will be created to foster contribution, accomplishment, confidence, and a feeling of self-worth in all players. Coaches will strive to see that each participant will be treated fairly and know they are an important part of the team and that their contribution is valued.
