Spring Select Program

In December of 2017  it was proposed and voted on during a meeting of the board of directors to form select programs for each Spring and Fall Season moving forward. 

Below are some of the details about the select program for the 2024 Spring season.    You will need to read the attached PDF for full program details.  


What is the Spring Select Program?
FVGFS has participated in several different Select programs for Fall or Spring. In the Fall of 2017 the Central League Fall Ball leagues decided to form Select Lite.  South County leagues have their own select program and sometimes our league participates in their program as well.  The decision is based on current division registration and coaching.  The information below pertains to Central League Select Lite only.

What is the extra time commitment?
In addition to playing on a regular Spring team, girls who play in the Select Lite program will play with a different group of teammates. Select teams will play together from the time of team formation in January until end of the Spring Season.

Select teams will officially meet (game or practice) once per week, on Sundays. Practices and games for Select Teams will be in addition to the player's normal practices and games for their recreation season teams.

Time commitment on Sundays will vary from week to week, based on a variety of things. Some Sundays might be open, some might have a practice, but other Sundays might require a much longer time commitment due to a tournament-style game schedule and/or possible travel to other fields.

Select practices and games will be in addition to Spring practices and games, not in place of them.

Spring recreational team will take priority and if you are unable to commit time to both teams you should not sign up for Select Lite.

Who is eligible to participate in the Spring Select Program?
The program is only available for girls in 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. All girls in these age groups are eligible for consideration, though not all players are guaranteed to be selected for a team.

How are teams selected for the Fall Select Program?
The number of teams for each age group will be determined by number of players interested and coach commitment. The Board will make a decision after Spring Ball Evaluations. It is possible that not all interested players will be chosen for a Select Team. A list of eligible players will be given to the Select Coach(s) and they will choose their teams. 

Who will be coaching the Select Teams?
The Board will vote on coaches for the Select teams. If you are interested in being considered as a coach, please inform the Select Commissioner.

How do I tell the select committee my player is interested in the select program?
When you check in your daughter at Spring Evaluations you will be asked if she is trying out for the Spring Select team. 

Will there be additional fees involved in select?
For girls that are selected, there will be separate fees assessed to cover Select games/tournament entry fees and an extra uniform that the Select teams will wear. This fee will not be collected until after the teams are selected.  

Other Questions?
Please email the Select Team Coordinator at saul@ocbatbusters.com if you have any additional questions.
