Happy New Year!!

With the New Year upon us comes the season to start working on our softball teams for the upcoming season.   

Based on the feedback from the online surveys and conversations throughout the summer, we are going to try something different and exciting this summer and we are going to offer a travel team option for age groups 10U-14U. These travel teams will be in addition to our league teams.

Here are the changes for the upcoming season:

10 & Under: There will be two options during the registration process.  

► First is does your daughter want to try out for the 10U Travel Team?  This will register her for our League Team as well.  $200 due at time of registration, $150 for League Team and $50 non-refundable tryout fee.  The remaining $200 will be at a later date, a total of $400 for the 10U Travel Team.  It is required for 10U to play league with LCAFA to be eligible for a Travel Team.

► Second option is to sign up for 10U League Team for $150. This team will play one night a week(Monday or Wednesday, TBD) and the league tournament the last weekend of June.   

12 & Under:  There will be two options during the registration process. 

► First is does your daughter want to try out for the 12U Travel Team?  This will register her for our League Team as well.  $200 due at time of registration, $150 for League Team and $50 non-refundable tryout fee.  The remaining $200 will be at a later date, a total of $400 for the 12U Travel Team.  It is required for 12U to play league with LCAFA to be eligible for a Travel Team.

► Second option is to sign up for 12U League Team for $150. This team will play one night a week(Tuesday or Thursday, TBD) and the league tournament the last weekend of June.  

14 & Under:  There will be three options during the registration process. 

► First is does your daughter want to try out for the 14U League and Travel Team?  This will register her for our League Team as well.  $200 due at time of registration, $150 for League Team and $50 non-refundable tryout fee.  The remaining $200 will be at a later date, a total of $400 for the 14U Travel Team.  It is NOT a requirement to play League with LCAFA to be eligible to tryout for the Travel Team.

► Second option is to sign up for 14U Travel Team for $50 non-refundable tryout fee, the remaining $200 due at a later date. 

► Third option is to sign up for 14U League Team. This team will play one night a week(Wednesday) and the league tournament in July.  

16/18 & Under:

This age group will have one option similar to last year. This team will play league one night a week, the league tournament and possibly 2-3 more tournaments, cost of $200.

A few more notes of interest:

• Practice times will be determined after teams are formed.
• Tournament dates will be decided after teams are formed.
• We will be providing new uniforms for our league teams as per our by-laws. Also travel teams will be provided separate uniforms as part of their registration fee.
• We see travel teams capped at 12 players per team.  If more than 12 girls sign up we will have a skill evaluation or tryout to determine the team.  Positional needs could extend that number, IE: pitcher/catcher. We will have independent evaluators.
• 8U will have a separate registration.

Registration is open January 1st until January 31st at 11:59pm.  Register early as to not forget, do not wait until the last minute!!  Here is the link: https://lcafa.sportngin.com/register/form/658492151

Again, we ask for your patience with this concept as we work through this new process. Please know we always have the best interest of the girls in mind and are doing our best to evolve as our program grows and changes. 

Please reach out if you have questions!

Thank you!
