Fall

WELCOME TO VISTA GIRLS SOFTBALL FALL BALL PROGRAM

VGS Fall Ball consists of two separate programs: Recreational (Rec) and Select. Each offers a different level of competition and commitment. As noted below, to play on a Select team the player must also be on a Rec team roster.

Rec Schedules: 

  • 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U age brackets can expect 1-2 practices per week, and double headers on Sundays from after Labor Day through mid-November
  • T-Ball/6u will have 1 practice and 1 game per week 
  •  Rec Program Format: 
    For the 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U programs, teams will be drafted similar to spring, with each team blending a mix of advanced and developmental players 
  • We encourage players with advanced skillsets interested in playing at a higher level of competition to tryout for a Select team (this is a second/separate team) 
  • Team sizes are dependent on number of players registered at the time of assessments 

Interleague Division:

  • Interleague teams are separate from Rec teams and can meet between Aug 18 through Dec 31st, which can either be a practice or game(s)
  • Managers will assess those interested in interleague players during the rec league assessments.   
  • Interleague teams will participate in the North County Fall Ball program, games will not be a Vista Girls Softball fields, but will be throughout North County
  • A player will not be a rec team roster to participate in interleague
  • Additional costs may be required to cover additional tournament and team costs

Select Division: 

  • Select teams are separate from Rec teams and can meet between Aug 18 through Dec 31st, which can either be a practice or game(s)
  • Each Select Manager is responsible for scheduling games with other leagues, and/or registering for tournaments. 
  • Managers will assess those interested in Select during the rec league assessments.   
  • Additional costs may be required to cover additional tournament and team costs

Important note: to play on a Select team, a player must also be on a Rec team roster. Select is an additional/optional commitment for more reps and competitive training.
