716 Select Softball & Baseball faq

What age groups/teams do you currently have?

We currently recruiting for a 10U & 12U teams for the Spring 2026 season, with plans to expand into additional age groups as the program grows.

What level of competition does the team play at?

716 Select Softball & Baseball competes in USSSA tournaments at the “C” level to start, which provides the right balance of competitive play and player development. As our players grow, we’ll continue to adjust the level of play to match their progress.

How often are practices and games?

We aim to practice three times a week when there is no tournament scheduled. On weekends when we do have tournaments, we aim to practice twice a week. Since 716 Select Softball & Baseball is founded on the principle of fundamentals, we strongly believe in maximizing practice opportunities to help players grow their skills, confidence, and love for the game.

What is the travel commitment?

Most tournaments are played within Virginia and surrounding states. We keep travel reasonable for families, especially in the first year, while still giving players exposure to quality competition.

What equipment does each player need to purchase?

Each player is responsible for providing their own glove, helmet, cleats, and personal gear.

Are fundraising and sponsorships available to help with costs?

Yes! Sponsorships from local businesses and team fundraisers play a big role in keeping our program affordable. We actively work with families to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
