Tournament Softball

FYS offers a tournament softball program for girls in the 10U age through 18U age brackets. This league is for girls who want additional time with the coaches, and get additional practice and game time. The players try out for positions on the teams and based on ability and age may be selected to a team. Since there is a tryout, not all girls will make the team. Teams practice starting in August twice per week and play in three or four tournaments in the fall and two or three tournaments in the spring. Girls playing on the tournament softball team are encouraged to play on one of Fairfax’s rec teams (Little League or Pony League)

There is a $100.00 registration fee for all participants.
