NIVA TRAVEL TEAM GENERAL INFORMATION

Interested in trying out for a travel team?

Our travel program is for girls and families that want to compete at an elite level and dedicate more time (and money) to the sport.  Players looking to play in college usually choose this division for the level of coaching and competition as well as the exposure to college coaches.

Girls on these teams practice 2-3x a week at various schools (usually in Penn and Elkhart district schools).  You get a monthly calendar with days and times for practices.  We try to stay consistent for teams throughout the season but are at the mercy of the schools at times and also want to be flexible around our players' schedules for school sports and events.  Coaches will try to adjust the practice calendar monthly around what girls can make and what's available for the schools.

Tournament schedules will be released in October but you can plan on 2 out of town tournaments a month.  These usually require hotel stays Friday and Saturday evening.  We do have group blocks for hotels but families are allowed to stay wherever they want at these tournaments (unless they are stay-to-play)...with family, other hotels, etc.  We do NOT require the girls stay together.  Families are responsible for the cost of getting there, hotel and food at the tournament on their own.

We have various levels of travel teams (Purple, Black, White, Grey, Silver, Pink).  Purple and black teams are national level teams that go through June and finish the season at Nationals.  White, Grey, Silver and Pink teams are done by spring break.
