Shockwave Summer Softball - SGSL Sunnyvale Girls' Softball League

2011 Shockwave summer schedules

Sunnyvale Girls Softball League 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U tournament travel teams:

The teams will play 3 to 7 tournaments (depending on the division) in June/July and 4-5 tournaments in September/October. All tournaments are local so no overnight stays are required. Tournament play is normally 3 games on Saturday and then single elimination on Sunday (1-3 games). This is a great opportunity forgirls who love to play softball and who really want to improve their softball playing ability. 10U and above divisions will typically play over 30 games during June/July. Here is a brief description of what the summer travel season is all about:

Players compete for spots on a team - unlike recreational season, not all players that tryout on the May 1st weekend will make it on a team
Players participate in weekend long tournaments - teams play in local weekend tournaments – usually within 1 hour drive. Depending on age division, tournaments are every weekend in June and July (July 4th weekend is off)
The teams will practice 2-3 times per week - each practice lasting approximately 2 hours.
The teams will have 12-14 players on the roster.
Playing time is based on skill level – although playing time on Saturdays should be more equal, Sunday games become very competitive and playing time will be determined primarily by skill level and attitude.

The level of play is high and the games are competitive. Travel softball is tremendously fun and a great "team" experience - the girls really bond as a group and create memories that will last a lifetime! By the end of the season, the girls improve so much that they are essentially different players. However, it also requires a large commitment and should not be entered lightly. Your family will be committing to watch softball games all day nearly every weekend of June and July, plus 4-6 hours of practice each week.
