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.

To make one of the female Travel Teams, athletes must attend any one of the 2-day tryout camps. Day 1 of each camp will consist of softball skill testing (arm velo, exit speed, positional testing, etc.), 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.

On Day 1 of each tryout weekend, there is a mandatory Parents Meeting. Please ensure you have a representative for your family there to represent your athlete and receive the information. We have some exciting improvements to the travel program this year, and with some details still in the works, we will use the parents meeting to discuss trip details, costs, practice weekends, expectations, etc. of our team athletes and families for this travel season.

Each age group will have 5 or more trip opportunities. Players selected to the teams, will be offered to travel for one, two or three trips. Regardless of how many trips you accept, all players selected will take part in the team practices, as well as Mental Training and Strength & Conditioning Programs.

Our 2024-2025 season took us to several states across the US - California, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Texas! We will return to many of these locations for the 2025-2026 season, though we are working on some new options as well!

The expected travel dates are October 16-27, October 23-November 3, November 6-November 17, December 4-15, February 12-16, February 12-23, March 5-16, and April 9-20. We are still working to finalize the last few tourney options, and will have a complete list of tourney dates and locations at the parents meetings held on day 1 of each tryout.
