Higher commitment
Silvers players are expected to show up ready, communicate conflicts, attend team activities when possible, and take pride in representing their community with class beyond their home fields.
Silvers Travel Program
Silvers is the girls-only CYF travel pathway for players ready for a higher level of commitment, tournament competition, offseason growth, and clear team expectations.
Development still comes first
Travel softball should stretch players, but coaches should prepare them before asking them to perform. Success is a process, not only a weekend result.
Team over self
Players are asked to embrace their role, be loyal teammates, own their effort and attitude, and put team goals above personal goals.
How the Silvers process works
The tryout application gathers softball background, positions, availability, player goals, and family understanding of the travel commitment. That helps CYF place players thoughtfully and communicate clearly before any payment is due.
Parents should expect more travel, more scheduling detail, and more responsibility around GameChanger communication, sideline behavior, volunteer help, and signed expectations.
Payment happens later
No Silvers payment is collected during the tryout application. If a player is approved, the board can send a separate payment link.
What families should understand before tryouts
Silvers is still CYF, but the commitment level is different from Rec.
Tryout process
The questionnaire helps CYF understand age group, positions, softball background, availability, goals, and family readiness before placement decisions are made.
Commitment
Families should expect stronger attendance expectations, more travel, tournament weekends, communication discipline, and volunteer help.
Costs
No payment is collected during tryout registration. If a player is approved, CYF can send a separate payment link after team details are known.
Communication
Silvers families should be ready for team tools such as GameChanger, clear RSVP habits, and direct communication with coaches.
