GVSA Frequently Asked Questions 

What are the different leagues?

GVSA has a variety of leagues for men, women, and coed.  The Men’s Leagues have three different Divisions.  Men’s B is for very competitive teams who have been together for many years and have placed at “C” State.  Men’s C is for competitive teams with experience.  Men’s D is for teams who are just starting out or are not as competitive.  There is also a Masters +36 league, which requires all of the players to be 36 years of age or older.  For Women, there are is a C division and a D division.  The teams from both divisions play each other during the season.  Finally, there is a co-ed league with four divisions.  Co-ed B is for competitive teams who have been together for a while and have placed at “C” State.  Co-ed C is a very competitive league where both the women and men are very experienced.  Co-ed D1 is comprised of teams that have some experience, but have a few players who are new to softball.  Co-ed D2 is for teams who are playing for recreational purposes and who have many players without softball experience.  We encourage new teams to discuss what type of players they have with one of the Player Reps before signing up for a division.

 What are the Fees?

There are two types of fees.  The first is the Sponsor Fee, which is $700 for Men’s Leagues who play two times a week and $550 for Women’s Leagues, Co-ed Leagues, and Master’s Teams that play one day a week.  The Sponsor fee is due at the time the team registers for league play.  For the 2009 season, the due date for the Sponsor Fee is April 15, 2009.

 The second type of fee is the Player Fees.  For teams that play two times a week, Player Fees are $50 per player.  For teams that play one time a week, the Player Fees are $35.00 per player.  Player Fees are due the first week of June.  More information on the process of paying Player Fees will be posted on the website and at the Complex.

 When is the Deadline for Team Registration?

Teams wanting to play during the 2009 Season must register on-line at www.gvsoftball.org and pay their Sponsor Fees on or before April 15, 2009.
