We are in our second year of travel ball and our season ended here in South Jersey a couple weekends ago. Team is on hiatus until after the holidays and my daughter said last night "I miss Softball".

So here's the question. Where can we go to post in a regional forum to see about her guest playing one or two weekends a little further south? Do they keep playing say in Virginia till Christmas or are we talking further south?

Any help would be appreciated. We don't mind driving. Softball is kinda our life now lol.

Thanks

You may have to go all the way to FL to find opportunities to play in Dec. In GA we play up until the weekend before Thanksgiving, then shut down until mid-February. There is a message board in GA (GeorgiaCoachesCorner.com • Index page) and if you click on the tryout tab for the appropriate age group you will find teams looking for guest players.

I'm in GA also. The last tournament I know of around here is the 21st, like JAD said. There may be more I don't know about but it is definitely wrapping up. But we'll start back up in late February, I'm guessing a good bit sooner than you will up in NJ. I used to want to move to New England (I lived in CT as a child) but now that I'm obsessed with softball I like the south more than I used to. ;)

Also depends on age group, doesn't it? For us in Texas, HS ball starts in Jan/Feb, so TB goes on hiatus from end of November through May (until after playoffs are over).

Yeah we play all the way through Dec 20th here in South Florida.(and we have the Rising Stars Showcase Jan 8th). If you want to REALLY come this far I can give you some contacts and the main forum teams and guest players post on.

GA plays HS ball in the Fall, so TB will start mid-late February depending on the weather and there will be plenty of teams looking for pickup players every weekend. There are a lot of kids from surrounding states who play pickup TB in GA in the Spring because they do not want to play for their HS teams for whatever reason.

There are several dome leagues and tournaments in the upper Midwest during the winter. I would guess there's something similar in your region.

Marriard Yes, that would be great, we would actually make a vacation out of it. My son is in Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach so we can definitely do it.

She is a 16U middle infielder but has played outfield as well. She just wants to play so if anyone needs a utility player she fits the bill. Nice bat too. Still 14U eligible. She could really play anywhere from 14u up.

Pitch2Fast - Florida Girls Fastpitch Softball Forum - this is the primary forum for Florida guest players/tryout notices. Just post a profile and availability in the right region and you will get responses.

Cocoa Beach area can be NSA country so: Link to Florida NSA tournament list: - NSA Tournaments (last one almost end of December)

Also USSSA: USSSA Baseball / ISTS Sports Statistics (last one is down South, but statewide through Dec 12th)

No shortage of softball options to play down here... Let me know if you want to come down to the Ft Lauderdale area for a weekend and I can probably help directly.
