When does the 2025-2026 season officially begin: SFC will begin the new season on September 1, 2025.

How many teams will SFC have in the 2025-2026 season: We will have teams in the 10U, 12U, 14, 16U, and 18U age divisions.

I've never played select softball. Should I try out: Yes! We invite you to tryout! You never know what you will accomplish until you put your mind to it and try! If you have a positive attitude, a can-do spirit, and want to work hard, we invite you to tryout.

What is the commitment level: We expect a high level of commitment and focus from the girls who play for SFC. Our teams are focused and goal-oriented. SFC practices and tournaments are the priority. The exception being academic requirements and family commitments.

That said, we do encourage multi-sport athletes and will try to accommodate those girls who have other sports or organized activities which may conflict with the SFC schedule. Please discuss any potential conflicts with your head coach.

When will practices begin for the new season: Practice scheduling is at the discretion of the head coach per team. Practices typically begin mid- to end-of-August. 

Where do SFC teams practice: Our coaches try to schedule practices in a centralized location for most members on the team.

• Outdoor practices are typically run at the following locations: Lower Woodland, Chief Sealth, Bellevue High School, Odle Middle School, Maplewood Playfield, and Magnuson Park.
• Indoor practices take place in the Rain City Fieldhouse in Georgetown. 

What are practice schedules: Practices are scheduled by the head coach. Teams practice 2-3 times per week with additional opportunity for specialty position work and clinician time. Practices run from 90-minutes to 2-hours.

Specialty Clinicians: SFC works with several local D1 college softball players for hitting, pitching, and catching. Those sessions will be coordinated after the season begins.  

How long is the season: The season runs from September 1 to July 31. We practice inside and outside year-round.

How many tournaments does each team play: Tournament schedules are set by the head coach for each team. Teams typically play in 12-15 tournaments in the September to July timeframe.
