Spring Season:
Spring season is for middle school aged players, grades 6, 7, and 8. Players will be assigned teams by geographical location first and by teammate request secondary. More information regarding practice and game schedule will be available in the near future. We will do our best to place players on rosters that align with what high school they will attend; some players may get moved around to fill rosters. 

Summer League Play:

Fargo Area Fastpitch Program will play in a 8-week league with games being played throughout the Fargo Area. Summer league play will start the week of June 2nd (after high school season concludes). Games start at 6:00 PM. Below are days of the week each team will play: 

• 8U - Sunday's and or Wednesdays (1 Game)
• 10U - Thursday's (1 - 2 Games)
• 12U - Tuesday's (2 Games)
• 14U - Monday's (2 Games)
• 16/18U - Wednesday's (2 Games).

Note: Fargo Area Fastpitch will be adding additional games for both the 8U and 10U programs this year. We will start the season at the end of April or beginning of May and will schedule extra games for 8U and 10U. Please watch for additional details involving these programs.

Team Assignments & Game Schedule:

• Shortly after registration closes on March 31st, team rosters will be formed for the summer recreation season. After rosters are finalized, you will be notified via email by the Fargo Area Sports office and your coach.
• The team and league schedule will be put together shortly after rosters are completed.
• During the registration process, you will have the ability to request a certain coach or player(s) to participate with for the season. Coaches are allowed to form their own team if the player chooses to play for them.  Teams are allowed to stay together year after year. If submitting a roster, the deadline is March 15th. Please make sure to communicate with the families/coaches and submit your request during the registration process.
• These submissions are not guaranteed but we do our best to accommodate all requests. 

Indoor Facility (the ATTIC): 

• You must be registered for the 2025 season to utilize the indoor facilities for no charge.
  
• When reserving time in the indoor facilities, coaches/individuals may only reserve a facility for one practice per week and only 2 tunnels at a time, for an hour time slot.
  
• There are 2 L-screens, 2 ball caddy’s, 2 hitting tee’s, 2 hitting mats, and a fungo screen to split your tunnel in half to maximize your reserved space. 
• If you split your tunnel in half, BE SURE TO USE THE EXTRA HITTING MAT TO PROTECT OUR TURF.
• Your indoor practice can consist of one hour in length and prefer that you schedule on the hour mark.
  • Example: 5:00-6:00pm, not 5:30-6:30pm. If you're within 48 hours from the time you reserved and if tunnels are open, coaches or individuals can reserve either more tunnels and/or more time.
