When you register, we will collect a $100 registration fee ($50 for 6U T-ball) for each player, which includes the cost of the league-supplied uniform.  We now offer a $10 sibling discount for famiies with multiple players.  Financial assistance options are available.  There will also be a mandatory fundraiser (e.g., candy sale) taking place at the start of the season.  As a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers, each family without a parent/guardian engaged as a manager, coach or board member is also required to contribute 4 hours per season helping with operations like field maintenance, the snack bar and our opening and closing ceremonies.  A $100 volunteer hours "buy-out" option is available for those who simply can't help, but what our girls really need is your time.  Working together we will keep our league strong for our community for years to come!

Spring 2010 Season Announcement

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

The American River Girls Softball Association Spring season will run from March through June of 2010.  All girls between the ages of 5 and 16, regardless of experience or ability, who reside or go to school within the ARGSA league boundaries <--click here for a map are welcome to come out and be part of our league.

The American River Girls Softball Association is a fastpitch softball instructional league that is focused on a recreational level of play. We favor the participation of all players over that of the few who are advanced. We believe that participation in softball contributes to total fitness (mind and body) and the development of good sportsmanship and teamwork. It is our expectation that these activities will help our players to become confident, responsible adults.

Nobody does it better!

How good are we at what we do?  The American River Girls Softball Association has historically been one of the most successful leagues of its size and kind in Northern California.  Most recently, our 2009 10U and 12U All Star teams both won their age brackets at the NorCal Fastpitch All-Star tournament, and won the right to represent the Sacramento region at the Western Nationals Tournament held in Portland, Oregon.  This is a testament to the quality instruction and support that all of our players receive from their coaches and league personnel throughout the year.

Congratulations 2009 All Stars!
