Ages are measured from the child's age on January 1 of the current year. So, if your daughter turned 9 on January 2, and was still 8 on January 1, her league age is 8 for the current year and she is eligible for 8 & Under division play this season. Should you have questions about the appropriate division for your daughter, please register her 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 that our 6 & Under division has been going strong for a decade, however if we do not get enough registrations in that division, players will automatically be included in our 8 & Under division of play. Note the increased cost for the older age divisions covers paying umpires at those ages.

While our fields are permitted to us every season by Fairfax County and may change, you can see the typical fields for our eastern and western divisions on this map in order to help you pick the correct geographic division.

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.

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:

The Dimensions FAQ answers many questions you may have.

Registration for Dimensions will be a two-step process this year (however there is no tryout). 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 spring.

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
