There is no fee for registration, but the registration allows us to plan tryouts properly and will help us anticipate potentially having one or two teams at each level.   Registration closes on July 24.

We ask that during softball season, your player makes every effort to prioritize softball over other sports.  This will help everyone move forward as a team.

After tryouts are done, then the coaches will meet to determine teams and will extend offers to fill the rosters.  We would like to have 12 on each team.  This way everyone gets a good amount of playing time and we have enough players in case someone is gone for a tournament or league night.  

Please let Coach Wilson know if you have any questions! awilson@fvlhs.org
Blessings on your summer!
