Usually, yes. It really depends where you play and on what kind of team. Travel teams cost much more than rec. The money goes to buy uniforms, help enter tournaments and other costs that are needed for a softball team. The average rec team can cost anywhere from 20-80 dollars.
Not sure what you mean by regular softball. If you are referring to recreation or "rec" ball through your local rec department then typically travel ball is much harder. You are facing teams that are hand picked with little regard to where they live or attend school. Travel teams have the ability to seek out the best player they can find at each position. A rec team gets the players that sign up to play regardless of their ability.
It all depends on the age group and type of team. Younger kids softball usually isn't all that competitive or aggressive. The older the age, the more aggressive the game. Travel softball is generally much more competitive than rec ball.
it cost me 3000 pounds for 6 months when i did it
it depends where you live how old you are or if you want to play travel or rec
It is very fun and you get a lot of exercise when you play. There are different levels of play, like travel ball, rec ball, and All Stars. Rec ball is the easiest level. All Stars is the best rec ball players, and travel ball is the best of the All Stars.
About $5K to congress and senate.....social security $0.00
Depends if you get a cheap bat ($30.00) or a stealth ($200.00)
The cost depends on what kind of glove, bat and other required equipment you get
Travel is more competitive than rec. Rec season also consists of 1 game per every few days or once a week. Travel will compete in tournaments which will only last 1 to 2 days, but have up to 8 games in a day! 8 being probably the most. So to answer your question, the only difference would be the level of competition. BTW I ♥ TRAVEL SOFTBALL!
Occasionally, you can find a formal softball captain in the competeitve league, but you can find majority of the formally recognized softball captains in rec or modified leagues. In the competetive league, most teams have a informal captain, which means that the whole team follows her lead but never refers to her as team captain.
