Want to Play Softball?
It is time to start thinking about summer softball. Before young athletes hit the softball diamonds this summer, leagues need to get organized and formed. This is where the Verona Area Girls Softball Association (VAGSA) has helped out with a variety of programs for more than 12 years.
VAGSA is a non-profit organization committed to providing opportunities for recreation, competitive, and tournament (Cougars) softball to all girls in the Verona Area School District and neighboring communities. Each year, over 150 athletes enjoy the opportunity of being part of one of the most comprehensive softball programs in south central Wisconsin!
The following Youth Softball programs are available each summer:
Pre-Season Warm-up Camp (April 10) – Grades 3-8
Leagues (Recreational and/or Competitive) – Grades 3-12
Cougar Tournament Teams – Grades 3-12
Instructional (skills-based summer camp) – Grades K-9
No matter the skill level, new to softball or a more experienced player, there will be an opportunity to not only play the game, but to build and refine needed skills. New and lasting friendships will also be made along the way.
On April 10, VAGSA will host a Pre-Season Warm-up Camp at the VAHS Gym to help athletes warm-up after a long fall and winter break from softball. This camp will also help prepare players for skill evaluations that will be held the following weekend. On April 17, Skill Evaluations will be conducted at the VAHS Gym to assess each player’s level of play and understanding of the game. Team assignments (recreation and competitive) will be based on each individual player’s evaluation.
Registration for VAGSA softball is currently open. The deadline for registering for the 2016 summer program is April 10. Registration materials are available on the http://www.vagsa.org website.
Participating in VAGSA youth softball programs will teach each player proper and consistent application of fundamentals in a positive, safe, and fun environment while enriching their enjoyment of playing the game.
