Your support will greatly be appreciated for this fund raiser for Bonita Valley Softball as we host the USA Softball Select tournament on those dates.

Volunteers
BVGASA is a non-profit organization that survives on the volunteer time and dedication of its members, specifically the parents and businesses of the community. Again this year we will need volunteers for Team Managers, Coaches, Team Mom's, Parent Helpers, etc. (anyone who interacts with the players). If you have the desire to be a part of this season's effort in one of these capacities, you will need a new USA Softball background check completed as this is an USA Softball annual requirement. If you get it started now you will be cleared prior to the beginning of the season.

Just click on the "Log In" link on the upper right hand corner of this page then click on the "Register to Volunteer" link to get the process started.

Once you complete the on-line volunteer registration, bring a copy of this completed volunteer form and a $10 processing fee (if you did not pay on-line) to BV volunteer coordinator Jackie. When the process is completed, it will allow you to help with on-field activities like games and practices. Without this, adults are not allowed on any of the fields during league activity times. This is a USA Softball annual requirement so once you get this done, you can use it without renewing throughout the year, no matter what league you are involved with.

Weather Conditions
If games are rained out Saturday 3/3, pictures will also be rescheduled. We will be evaluating the field conditions early tomorrow morning. Please stay tuned to all social media accounts and the Bonita Valley website. Remember to sign up for text alerts for weather and field condition updates.

Snack Bar Duty
In the event of a rain out on your teams snack bar duty day, it will be made up at a later date. Most likely on the make up day for the canceled games. Communication will be sent out as a reminder in those cases.

2018 Text Alert Sign Ups are Available
If you would like to receive a text message to your cell phone for Field Conditions as they change during the season, use the link on the right column to sign up. All numbers that had been put into this alert system for previous seasons were cleared out so make sure you sign up again for the 2018 season.

**Super 6'ers is like T-Ball but with some rules similar to the Rookie Division. For example, taking away the Tee for hitting during the games.

Skill Assessments

Only players that fall into one of the following categories require a skill assessment:

1) PITCHERS AND CATCHERS: Any player wanting to be considered a pitcher or catcher this season must be assessed (all divisions except T-Ball and Rookies).
2) Any Player moving up from the Rookies Division must be assessed.
3) All new Players to the league going into Mini-Minors, Minors, or Majors Divisions must also be assessed.

Players that fall into one of the above categories who do not attend a skills assessment will not be placed on a team during the draft.

Dates and locations for the assessments:
Saturday, January 6 9AM-12PM: Discovery Park For Players With Last Name Begins A-L
Saturday, January 20 12pm-3pm: Discovery Park For Players With Last Name Begins M-Z
*Note: Players are able to come to either assessment day regardless of last name.

When attending a Skills Assessment we strongly recommend bringing a glove, cleats, bat, helmet and a protective face mask. If your player is going out for catcher, also bring catchers gear.

Player Draft

BVGASA holds a blind draft to place the players on their teams. This season the draft will be conducted on January 23-25. All drafted players will be notified some time after the draft by their new managers.

League Volunteers

BVGASA is a non-profit organization that survives on the volunteer time and dedication of its members, specifically the parents and businesses of the community. Again this year we will need volunteers for Team Managers, Coaches, Team Mom's, Parent Helpers, etc. (anyone who interacts with the players). If you have the desire to be a part of this season's effort in one of these capacities, you will need a new ASA background check completed as this is an ASA annual requirement. If you get it started now you will be cleared prior to the beginning of the season.

Just click on the "Log In" link on the upper right hand corner of this page then click on the "Register to Volunteer" link to get the process started.

Bring a copy of a completed volunteer form and a $10.00 processing fee (if you did not pay during the on-line registration) to any of the on-site registration dates. When the process is completed, it will allow you to help with on-field activities like games and practices. Without this, adults are not allowed on any of the fields during league activity times. This is an USA Softball annual requirement so once you get this done, you can use it without renewing throughout the year, no matter what league you are involved with.
