Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to try out and participate in tournament play, each player must meet all three of the following criteria:
- Player must be age 9, 10, or 11 as of December 31, 2025
- Player must have completed a minimum of eight regular in-season games
- Player must submit completed documents confirming age and residency eligibility (details are outlined in the Google Form)
Required Documents
Every player must arrive at tryouts prepared to hand in their completed eligibility documents. Documentation requirements confirming age and residency are detailed in the Google Form. Players who don't submit the required documents at check-in may not be cleared for tournament participation.
Please review the form carefully before Friday so your family arrives ready.
Tournament Schedule
If your daughter is selected for the 2026 All-Star team, here's what to expect for tournament play:
- District Tournament: Week of July 13 (subject to change; location TBD)
- State Tournament: Week of July 27 (subject to change; location TBD)
Tournament baseball requires a greater time commitment than the regular season, including practices, games, and possible travel depending on how far the team advances. Families should be prepared for schedules to move quickly once the team is formed.
Questions or Scheduling Conflicts?
If your player can't attend tryouts on May 29, please reach out as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate an alternate evaluation, but we can't guarantee availability without advance notice.
For any additional questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us directly. We're here to support your family through this process.
We're excited for these girls to represent VBall Softball. Get registered, bring your documents, and we'll see everyone at Beck Fields on Friday night! 🥎
