Suburban Tournament Teams
Suburban Athletics tournament softball is offered for those players interested in competing at a higher level within their age group. Tournament teams require a greater commitment in that each participant is expected to attend all practices, games, weekend tournaments and other team activities. Teams will typically have practices 1-2 times per week in addition to playing on a league team 2 nights a week. The season will include 3-6 weekends over the course of the season. The tournament players will not all play equal time and based on the numbers of players on a tournament team, a “core / rotation” system may be used. Tournament families are expected to complete volunteer requirements for both league as well as additional volunteer requirement for tournament team participation.
