Ridgewood Raiders Travel Softball
Every year, our overarching goal is to place as many girls as possible on a team, with the expectation of a good experience. We strive for player development, competitive teams and a positive environment, with everyone working to improve their skills and being a supportive teammate.
Travel players are required to play—and hopefully be leaders—on their recreational softball teams. Travel team schedules aim to avoid conflicts with rec games, though on some occasions it is unavoidable. When this happens the travel players must attend rec games. Scheduling usually consists of weekend nights and/or Sunday afternoons in the spring and weeknights in the summer, in addition to a practice schedule, which will vary from team to team. Tournaments for our older teams, may include an overnight trip. Our Travel Softball calendar ends at the end of October with the annual Travel Softball Banquet.

Depending on the number of games and tournaments a team enters, the cost for the season (April through July) can range from $300 to $600 per player, with the norm somewhere between those two figures.
-
Every season begins with Pre-Winter Workout/Winter Workout programs, commencing in November. These are optional programs and a commitment is not required to participate in the travel program.
-
The travel program also offers opportunities for workouts and possibly some games in the fall. The Fall program runs Fridays and weekends from early September to late October.
