Phillies Travel

Phillies Travel Softball is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run with the assistance of the Glen Ellyn Girls Softball Association. The program is for female athletes who would like to make a larger commitment to fastpitch softball and play at a higher level of competition. Teams start as young as the 12U level and continue through the 18U level, giving athletes a chance to play 40 to 50 games each year.

There is also a Phillies All-Star option, which allows the girls to play in the house league program and then play a shortened travel schedule of approximately 20 games beginning at the end of June through July. They will play in games and tournaments appropriate to their skill level. The Phillies Fastpitch Softball program teaches participants the proper rules of the game and prepares athletes for future endeavors.

Tryouts for both Full-Time and Part-Time Travel teams are held in July/September.

Note – Players that are offered positions on our Travel teams will have 48 Hours to Respond.
If not accepted within 48 hours, that position may be extended to another player without further notice.
