Travel Fees: Forest Hill Travel Baseball is independently-funded and doesn't rely on other programs financially. Our goal for the Travel program is to break even every year. The Rec Council and/or the baseball program makes no profit from the Travel program. All money brought in through fees, fundraisers and other revenue is spent entirely on the players.
