Managers & Coaches,
ALL softball equipment is to be turned in at the end of Closing Day Ceremonies, on Saturday, July 19th. We will be accepting equipment immediately after the ceremonies over by the FGSA Snack Shack. If you will not be at Closing Day Ceremonies, please make arrangements with Harry Parker to get the equipment turned in.
It is very important the equipment be returned so the league can assess equipments needs prior to the start of the upsoming 2009 season. In the past, managers chose not to turn in their equipment to carry over to the next season. This practice is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE.

Catch the Looney Toons battling the Panthers in a YMCA dance off. See if you can spot the "Soulja Boys" dancers, including one special Coach busting a move. Spot the "Misfit." There's even some game action shots. Our thanks to Mariano Rojo & his 14U Heatwave for helping run the Hit-a-Thon with assistance by Board member Micheale Havenhill & crew.

Check out the handouts section for an updated current list of Sporting Goods retailers in the Bay Area. These retailers carry equipment from beginners up to professional athletes. These featured stores have personnel who know sporting goods and can set your daughter up with the right equipment based on skill level. Their line of equipment and expertise cater to all athletes! All carry softball & baseball equipment as well as other sports (some have lacrosse!) FGSA neither endorses nor is being compensated by any of these retailers.
