Travel
The NC Rams Travel teams are for players and families looking for a competitive travel softball experience within our New Canaan Town Travel Program. Our practices and instruction sessions are hosted at local fields and facilities, and we will play games and tournaments throughout the year. Beginning in early September and anticipated running through the end of July, Town Travel offers a year-round team environment while allowing flexibility to allow participation in other sports/activities. We coordinate closely with our families to schedule our practices, games, and tournaments, throughout the Fall, Spring, and Summer.
Eligibility
We are planning on having at least one team at the 12U level, and then two at the 10U/9U level.
12U - 09/01/2012 - 12/31/2014
10U/9U - 09/01/2014 - 12/31/2016
Note:
We align with USA Softball tournament eligibility at each age level. For players born between September 1, 2014 through December 1, 2014, if they wish to try out for an older team (12U), they should attend the later tryout time, and if they wish to try out for a younger team (10U), they should attend the earlier tryout time. If they wish to be considered for both options, they should attend both tryout times.
