Winter Travel Teams
The 222's Travel Teams program began in the fall of 2014, with just two female teams that traveled to one tournament in January of 2015. 10 years later, it has grown to become an advanced program, providing high performance training and competition for athletes in U12 to U18 age groups. Our teams receive elite training in all areas of the game, on and off the field. Players attend classroom sessions with our staff instructors, mental performance training, and are connected to sport science professionals to support their development as elite athletes.
Participation in the Winter Travel Teams program involves a tryout and selection process. Tryouts are hosted in Saskatoon, Edmonton and Brandon during mid-to-late August each year.
The Tryout Process
To make one of the female Travel Teams, athletes must attend any one of the 2-day tryout camps. Day 1 of each camp consists of softball skill testing, fitness testing, uniform/gear try-ons, pitcher/catcher testing, and parents meetings. Athletes can expect to be at the tryout for most of the first day. Day 2 will be hitting, pitching, catching, infield and outfield observational drills split by groups. Athletes can expect to be at the tryout for 2.5-3 hours, depending on positions.
Once all tryout camps have concluded, 222's Head Coaches will begin making offers. This process can take time, but will be completed by the first few days of September.
Parent Meeting
On Day 1 of each tryout weekend, there is a mandatory Parent Meeting
