HVA Fastpitch Softball

HVABSA offers baseball and softball programs for players as young as 3 and as old as 18 as well as both recreational and select programs.

FOR 3 - 6 YEARS OLDS - BLASTBALL AND T-BALL!

HVABSA offers Blastball for both boys and girls who are 3-4 years old and T-Ball for 5-6 years old. Girls are highly encouraged to participate in these programs! In Blastball, the girls are placed on teams with the boys. In T-Ball, we try to form all girl's teams, but many girls continue to play on other teams along with the boys. We encourage the girls to transition to the fastpitch softball program as early as possible, but usually they can make the transition successfully at age 6.

FOR AGES 7 to 13 - FASTPITCH SOFTBALL

HVABSA Fastpitch Softball provide recreational, interleague games for the following age divisions:

8U - for ages 6 to 8 - machine pitch

10U - for ages 9 and 10 - modified kid/coach pitch

12U - for ages 11 and 12 - kid pitch

14U - available depending on the number of interested players

Our league plays by ASA rules for junior olympic fastpitch softball. We play interleague games primarily with Lake Cities, Lewisville, Argyle and The Colony.

LEAGUE OBJECTIVES

Emphasize the quality of coaches and their proper training
Teach correct softball skills and a fundamental understanding of the game to all players
Make practices and games fun and enjoyable for everyone
Teach players how to set goals, work hard, stay organized
Reinforce life skills: teamwork, sportsmanship, fair play, honesty, courage, enthusiasm
Ensure every team’s practice session is organized and includes skill oriented drills
Provide a positive game environment with proper conduct by everyone on and off the field

The goal of the league is to have 3 to 6 teams per age level and to play 10 games in fall and 12 in spring. The league will operate two seasons – fall and spring. The fall season will run from September-October and will focus on individual player development, not on league standings or tournament play. The spring season will run from April-May and will focus on team development with more emphasis on team competition and tournament play.
