Where do you guys play at?
We play a mix of games (about half and half) in Mercer Island & Federal Way.
When are the games?
We play a 12 game season on Sunday evenings from June through the end of August. Some weeks you may just have one game. Other weeks you may have a double header with a few "bye" weekends scattered in between.
Fastpitch... Like we played in high school and college?!
YES!!! We play based off of the same handbook that you would see in a local high school game, just a little less intense.
Are there tryouts?
Nope! You pay, you play, regardless of your skill level. Everyone is placed on a team based off of the positions that they like to play in the field and which teams need those positions filled. We also mix around the skill levels of each player on each team so each team is as evenly matched as possible.
I haven't played in over 20 years. Do you think I'll be able to keep up?
Absolutely!! This group is full of a wide range of ages and skill levels. Everyone plays at their own pace and everyone gets the same amount of playing time regardless of their skill level. Feeling old and slow? So am I! Nursing a hamstring injury? We will get you a base runner! Can't pitch a full game anymore? We have plenty of pitchers to share time with! We can accommodate ANYONE who wants to get back in the game.
Who is allowed to play?
This is a women's league open to anyone 18 and older.
I can only make a few of the games.. Do you still want me?
Yes! We understand that people have busy lives. We offer a full 12 game season but also offer a half season option that would cover you for half of the games (6) of your choice with a discounted price.
We still need to figure out our budget for this year but I do not anticipate it being much more than last year's fee. Last year was $150 for 12 games, the fee may increase a little bit just depending on if fields & umpires have raised their prices.
Can I start my own team?
Please do! If you think you can rally enough players or even half of the amount of players to field a full team we can gladly help you with the missing pieces of your team. You will also have the opportunity to play on the same team as any of your friends or family, just request that you all be placed on the same team at the time of signup.
I have more questions, who do I talk to?
You can talk to me and I would love to answer all of your questions. My name is Jayme and I am the Seattle league president. You can call/ text me at 253-227-4095 or email me at seattlewfsa@gmail.com
