Recreational Registration

Fall 2025 - House

Season Information
Welcome to the registration for NVGSA recreational (house) softball! Our Fall season runs late August to the end of October. There are typically two events per week - a weeknight practice and a Saturday game or practice. Our league teaches players softball while emphasizing sportsmanship and a supportive environment.

Geographic Division Information
While our fields may change, you can see the typical fields for our eastern and western divisions on this map.

Age Division Information
Ages are measured from the child's age on August 31 of the current year. So, if your daughter turned 9 on September 1, and was still 8 on August 31, her league age is 8 for the Fall 2025 and the Spring 2026 seasons and she is eligible for 8 & Under division play this season. You can find a birth chart here. Should you have questions please register for the division that matches her birth year and contact the appropriate age group commissioners, who you can email here. DO NOT simply register, put a note in the special requests about age divisions, and expect to have your request automatically honored. You must email the commissioners. Note the increased cost for the older age divisions covers paying umpires at those ages.

Volunteer For Us!
During registration you will have the opportunity to volunteer for non-coaching roles while filing out the player registration form and coaching roles on the next page. Coaches will receive training! Please take a look at the current positions of need and consider signing up. Someone will contact you after you express interest with further steps.

Dimensions (Rec+) Registration

Fall 2025 - Dimensions

NVGSA is pleased to offer our 10U, 12U and 18U house players an additional opportunity to take the field under the Dimensions program. The Dimensions program is offered as an augmentation program for NVGSA’s traditional recreational league and is specifically designed to:

  • Allow selected NVGSA house players from across the league an opportunity to play on the field with one another irrespective of regular house team or geographic divisions (east/west).
  • Allow selected NVGSA players additional time to play at a competitive level against teams from across Northern Virginia, primarily in Fairfax and Arlington counties.
  • Introduce selected NVGSA house players to a higher level of competitive play as a gauge for potential travel level participation with the Firebirds, if interested.
  • Raise the overall level of play within the regular NVGSA House program by giving players extra opportunities to advance their skills.

The Dimensions FAQ answers many questions you may have. The age chart for Dimensions is the same as that for House, and can be found here.

Registration for Dimensions is a two-step process. Filling out the registration form expresses your interest in the program for your player - you will not pay at that time. NVGSA Management will look at the interested players and available coaches and form Dimensions teams at as many age groups as possible. Once these teams are formed, players who are able to be placed on a team will be sent a tryout acceptance email. On accepting their place on the team, you will pay for your player's participation. For any registrants who are not able to be placed on a team due to the wrong number of players at that age group or a lack of coach, an email will be sent notifying you. If you do not hear immediately after the season begins, this simply means that NVGSA Management is continuing to search as hard as possible for players and coaches to fill out a team. Please note that registration for Dimensions does not guarantee a spot on a team. Coaches have discretion over which players are on a team and if there are more interested players than slots coaches or the NVGSA board may select the players on the team.

Please consider volunteering to be a Dimensions coach or assistant coach to ensure we can form teams this season.

Teen Umpire Volunteering

Fall 2025 - Teen Umpires

Welcome to the 2025 Fall 10U Teen Umpires Registration with NVGSA!

NVGSA utilizes teen umpires for our 10U games.  This is an excellent opportunity for teens age 14 and up who love the game and wish to participate in a new and unique way. Umpiring will deepen their own understanding of and broaden their experiences with the game (not to mention they will make some cash or earn some community service hours). All of our teen umpires are carefully selected and undergo a mandatory training regime.  

Registration is required, click the link below to complete the registration form. After submitting your registration form you will receive additional instructions and a list of items to bring to training.
Please read through each page carefully to ensure that all information is provided accurately.

Registration Scholarship

Fall 2025 - Registration Scholarship Application

NVGSA proudly offers generous registration scholarships to families in need of financial assistance. While it is not necessarily a requirement for the scholarship, most families already participate in the Fairfax County Public Schools Free and Reduced Lunch Program, or in similar government assistance programs. Any family seeking the scholarship need only complete this simple request form to be considered.

If you require a scholarship, fill out this registration all the way through checkout BEFORE registering for House or Dimensions. You must complete this registration to be considered. Then you can come back and complete a House (and optionally Dimensions) registration.

Please note that you do NOT need to fill out this form and register for this program if you do not require a scholarship in order to play. If you do require a scholarship, please be prepared to provide our board with the requested information in the form.

Once received, the NVGSA Board of Directors will consider the request and inform the applicant via email or telephone. Any questions regarding registration scholarship application status should be forwarded to [email protected].

Respectfully,
NVGSA Board of Directors
