Summer Dimensions

Summer 2026 - Dimensions

NVGSA is pleased to offer our Summer Dimensions program for players in the 10U, 12U and 18U age divisions. 

About the Program

  • PLEASE NOTE that unlike our house league play, registering for summer Dimensions does not guarantee team placement! Team formation is dependent on having a sufficient number of players, interested coaches, and space in the summer league for our teams to play. If your player is interested please register early in the process and strongly consider volunteering to coach.
  • You do not have to play NVGSA house in either spring or plan to play with us in fall to join summer Dimensions. We welcome all experienced softball players for summer play.
  • Unlike in fall and spring, our summer Dimensions teams do hold their own practices.
  • Summer Dimensions allows 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). Because there are no geographic age divisions for summer play, all players on a team across geographic divisions will practice on one field together. Be aware when signing up that you may be driving to any of our usual permitted fields for practice.
  • The program allows players additional time to play at a competitive level against teams from across Northern Virginia, primarily in Fairfax and Arlington counties. Games may be played throughout Fairfax. Last summer games were played at Caffi Fields, Towers Park, Madison High School, and Oakton High School in the Vienna area. In prior summers games have also been played at Wakefield Park in Annandale and other locations throughout Fairfax County.
  • The program gives those interested in our Firebirds Fastpitch travel program to explore a higher level of play and more games in advance of Firebirds tryouts.

Season Dates

  • first week in June: game sign-up occurs (coaches please sign-up by this date)
  • June 22: practices may begin
  • June 30: first game for 10U, with July 1 being first for 12U and July 2 for 18U
  • August 6: season concludes

Game Times

While the below is not a guarantee of game dates and times, this is the usual summer league schedule

  • 10U typically plays two 1 hour, 15 minute games on Tuesday evenings
  • 12U typically plays two 1 hour, 15 minute games on Wednesday evenings
  • 18U typically plays two 1 hour, 15 minute games on Thursday evenings
  • Please note that teams will additionally practice once per week most weeks of the summer.

The Dimensions FAQ answers many questions you may have. Please note summer Dimensions is a competitive program for experienced players. New players should wait to register for our fall house league. Also note that Dimensions does not guarantee honoring any carpooling or friend requests. Teams are selected by and formed entirely at the NVGSA board's discretion.

  • Please consider volunteering to be a Dimensions coach or assistant coach to ensure we can form teams this summer. Volunteering occurs during registration or can be done here if you do not plan to register a player.

2025-2026 Birth Year Chart

For spring and summer 2026, our divisions are divided by birthday as follows:

Fall 2026 House Registration

Fall 2026 - 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, 2026 So, if your daughter turned 9 on September 1, and is still 8 on August 31, her league age is 8 for the Fall 2026 season 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.

Fall 2026 Dimensions Registration

Fall 2026 - 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.

Fall 2026 Teen Umpire Registration

Fall 2026 - Teen Umpires

Welcome to the 2026 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.
