Fall Fastpitch Softball registration will open on Saturday, June 1, 2013. The fall season is open to all girls who will be 7-8 (Fall Rookies), 9-10 (Fall Minors) or 11-13 (if entering 7th grade this fall) (Fall Majors) as of December 31, 2013. The Fall League offers players moving up to a new league in the spring of 2014 the opportunity to get accustomed to the new level of play before the spring season rolls around. The time commitment for the NYO Fall Fastpitch season is only one practice per week (Saturday) and one game per week (Sunday). Teams will be assigned in mid-August, and the regular season will run from Sunday, September 8, 2013, through Sunday, November 3, 2013. Last fall, our registration was the highest it has ever been and the number of spots for the fall season is greatly reduced from the spring, due to less available field space. So, please register early to secure your spot. We look forward to another great Fall Fastpitch season at NYO!

You don't dig out of that hole very often, but don't tell that to the 10U Fastpitch Heat.

Saturday will mark the return of Andee Poulos to NYO. Andee was a rising Senior NYO Softball player two years ago when a cluster of blood vessels in her brain ruptured. After emergency surgery at Emory, Andee fell into a coma for almost a month. When she emerged, it became clear that Andee had suffered significant damage. She couldn't walk, talk, eat or swallow. Andee underwent significant rehab and traveled to specialists around the country, but for a year and a half, showed very little progress. (Click photo or headline to read more)
