My daughter would like to play on the same team as her good friend, can I request to have them play on the same team?
Buddy request are allowed in the T Ball division. Write the name of the girl you would like your daughter to play with on the registration form. For all other division, we will try our very best to honor carpool requests, however there are no guarantees. FVGSA reserves the right to veto the request if it creates an unfair balance of skill levels between the teams.

Newly, elected board members may take office in August.
