Take the First Step Toward Excellence
Travel Softball
Westfield Travel Softball teams offer opportunities to skilled softball players to seek out a higher level of competition than what can be found while participating in the WYSI Recreational League and/or WYSI All-Star Program. Teams will be registered through USSSA and traditionally play in weekend events in Indiana ranging from 1-2 hours from Westfield. Teams register for entry level USSSA classification and then are placed in the appropriate competition class by USSSA after the season starts and results are shown.
League Overview
General Information
Travel and All-Star Commissioner

Travel Distances
Most tournaments are local to Central Indiana and within 1-2 hours away. Each team may schedule 1-2 overnight or long-distance tournaments at the discretion of the coach and with approval from parents.
General Commitment
Each player is expected to be fully committed in April – July. We highly encourage multi-sport athletes at all levels. However, a commitment to the team during the season is needed so that teams can field a full roster at events that are planned and paid for ahead of time. Expectations for those playing school ball at the older levels are set by each coach, but the team may play weekend tournaments during school ball.
Cost
Cost varies depending on fundraising and sponsorship efforts, uniform costs and number of tournaments entered. We estimate costs to be $700-$900. Our goal is to keep costs as affordable as possible. Costs are usually broken up into spring and fall payments to make it easier as well.
Refunds
Unfortunately there are no refunds once dues have been paid. These fees go to the cover the cost of equipment, uniforms and tournament dues which are generally non-refundable.
