For 10U and above, VGSA has two types of teams that play in spring league every year: recreational and independent club teams. 

Recreational teams are formed by VGSA through the individual registration process.  All girls who register for VGSA will be placed on a team unless, in the rare event, adequate coaching is not available.  Our teams are focused on player development, teamwork and confidence building. We instruct our coaches to give equal playing time to all the girls and communicate with parents if there is anything which would interfere with this goal. Players looking to learn fundamentals without the pressure of competitive play will find these teams to be a great fit.

Club teams strive to be more competitive and play both league and tournaments.  As a courtesy to both the teams and the parents, we will post information about their try-outs.  However, we do not make any player decisions for the teams.  It is up to the coaches and the parents to determine if their player is a good fit. Club teams will also have a different pricing structure since they generally include more uniform options, equipment, training opportunities and tournaments.
