TRAVELING SOFTBALL TEAMS (These teams do not qualify as part of the Family Rate.) U10 & U11 R&V Softball League: $50/City Resident and $55/Non-Resident U12 & U14 Independent Fees: $40/City Resident and $45/Non-Resident PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGES IN THE LEAGUE INFO BELOW. We have divided the teams into grades versus ages this year. Due to low team numbers in the Ridge & Valley Softball League and high registration numbers for Viroqua Park & Rec Softball over the last couple of years, it has been decided to move two of the teams to the Independent League that plays out of La Crosse. They will be placed in the Lower Division so that they will not be playing tournament teams. It will give these players more games than what can be provided in the Ridge & Valley softball league that we are currently participating in. Fees have been adjusted for this league due to self-transportation. U10 Softball Going into 5 th Grade Program Code: U10SB U10 will play in the Ridge and Valley League on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons/evenings. They will practice on Monday and Wednesdays. Transportation will be provided to weekly league games. U11 Softball Going into 6 th Grade Program Code: U11SB U11 will play in the Ridge and Valley League on Tuesday & Thursday afternoons/evenings.
