​
The Texas Travelers have been around since 1995 and have a rich history of helping guide young women towards success. Travelers Gold is an honor that is given to athletes who exemplify sportsmanship on and off the field while they wore the Texas Travelers Uniform. Although earning a college softball scholarship is the goal for many of these girls; it is not the most important aspect for a student athlete. To receive this honor, players must maintain excellent grades, perform community service and hold themselves to the highest standards on and off the field. Softball is not who we are. It is only something that we get to do.
