Fall Softball
FALL SOFTBALL REGISTRATION OPENS JULY 1!
The Shakopee Girls Softball Association is dedicated to providing a fun and inclusive environment where young girls can learn and develop their softball skills. We offer 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U teams.
WHEN
The Fall Ball softball season begins with tryouts at the beginning of August and concludes with the State Tournament the last weekend of September.
WHERE
Practices and home games are held at Neil Johnson Sports Complex in Shakopee. See our Field Maps page for more information.
Away games are held throughout the metro.
PRACTICES
8U & 12U Monday and Wednesday evenings
10U & 14U Tuesday and Thursday evenings
GAMES
8U & 10U Saturdays starting August 30
12U and 14U Sundays starting August 31
COST
8U/10U/12U/14U: $175
This fee covers the cost of the season, including the state tournament.
IMPORTANT: This fee does not include a jersey. If your daughter did not play spring softball, and needs a jersey, there is a spot to mark that in the registration process. Those who need jerseys will be charged an additional $45.
This fee does not include any tournament costs outside of registration, such as hotel and transportation.
UNIFORM
ALL TRAVEL PLAYERS

NEW THIS YEAR: VOLUNTEERING
Each family is required to volunteer 6 HOURS at games hosted by Shakopee. (Max of 10 hours per family with 2+ players)
When we host, it supports all SGSA programs. The funds raised allow SGSA to significantly reduce the registration fee per player and provide funding for field improvements. We appreciate your understanding and dedication to helping our softball community thrive!
If you are unable to fulfill your required volunteer hours, you can ask a friend or family member to fulfill them for you.
If the volunteer requirement is not met by the end of the season, a $300 FEE will be automatically charged to the card on your account in lieu of hours not worked.
Head coaches are not required to complete volunteer hours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I SIGN UP TO BE A COACH?
If you are interested in coaching, please check the appropriate boxes during registration. You will also be asked to choose your jersey and hat size.

CAN MY DAUGHTER "PLAY UP" A LEVEL?
Certain circumstances will be considered by the SGSA Board to allow players to play up a level. See our Age Classifications & Playup Policy page for more information.
DO ALL PLAYERS NEED TO ATTEND TRYOUTS?
Tryouts are for *10U and 12U players.
There are no tryouts for 8U and 14U.
*10U players who are new to the game or looking for a slightly less competitive season are not required to attend tryouts and will automatically be placed on our 10U White or Grey teams. All girls are welcome to attend tryouts regardless of experience.
CAN I REQUEST TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM AS ANOTHER PLAYER?
8U families can make 1 friend request, and we will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis. We cannot honor requests for 10U/12U/14U players as teams are formed based on tryout scores.
8U friend requests can be sent to travel director Cory Ramaker at cory.ramaker@gmail.com.
IS FUNDRAISING REQUIRED TO BE PART OF SGSA?
