Welcome to Fastpitch softball

The VAA Fastpitch Program has recently merged with the Eastview Athletic Association and is designed to provide a fun and competitive experience in the only form of softball played in Minnesota High Schools level. We have traveling fastpitch program opportunities for girls of all ages (from age 7 – 16+) and a Developmental (in-house) League for K-3. 

These teams play approximately 22 league games (11 actual game nights playing two games per night) in the season. The 10U and 12U, teams have a season that extends from late April to the end of June. The 14U and 16U teams season start after the high school season has ended and go through the end of July. In addition, all teams will play in 1-3 weekend tournaments throughout the season. Typically, Brown teams (designed for families at the 10U level who want to play at a different commitment level) play less and Gold Teams play more. All teams will participate in the State Qualifier Tournament in late June and some may qualify for the State and Nationals tournaments (typically played in the metro area) in July.  Please see the "New to Softball" page currently on the Eastview Athletic Association page.  (Please bear with us as we work to combine programs, logos, and websites.)

Our teams compete in the Tri-County league and primarily play against communities in the southern metro area (Rosemount, Eagan, Farmington, and Lakeville). Dedication is required to play on a traveling team which means that the players are expected to attend all practices and games if at all possible. However, our main objective is to teach and develop softball skills and to most importantly, ensure that the girls enjoy and develop a love of the game.

Eastview and Apple Valley Programs Combining

 

The EVAA Softball Board and AV Softball Board are working to combine programs for the benefit of our community girls. As is the case with all mergers, to merge correctly takes time to ensure that all measures are appropriately scoped and provisioned. We ask for your patience in these matters, and our goal is to have the merger completed by January 1, 2016.
