Let’s hit the field!
The Brandon Valley Youth Softball Association (BVYSA) organizes a summer softball program for children between the ages of 3 and 18 who live in the communities of Brandon and Valley Springs and other nearby communities. We are partnering with the Sioux Empire Fastpitch Softball Association for our 10U and up divisions, girls only who do not have a team. You will need to register through Sioux Empire Fastpitch Softball Association. Please know if you register through them your games will be played in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas.
Division | Age Qualification | Gender | Fee |
---|---|---|---|
T-Ball | A player typically ages 3, 4 & 5. | Co-ed | $75.00 |
Coach Pitch | A player typically ages 5 & 6. | Co-ed | $75.00 |
8U Recreational | Please see the Age Chart, we do allow 6 year olds to play up. | Girls Only | $75.00 |
10U Competitive | Please see the Age Chart | Girls Only | $100.00* |
12U Competitive | Please see the Age Chart | Girls Only | $100.00* |

****Please refer to the age chart on the homepage if you have questions about whether your child is eligible to play based on their age and an age option does not appear below.****
We are excited to share the fee structure for teams outside the Brandon Valley Youth Softball Association that want to participate in our league the upcoming softball season! To better align with the schedules and opportunities for each age group, the fees will be as follows:
• 10U–12U Teams: $800
These teams will start earlier in the season and play more games, reflecting an expanded schedule.
• 14U and Older Teams: $600
These teams will likely have a delayed start due to high school schedules and will play fewer games.
These fees do not include practices on our fields, for teams wanting to join our league who are needing practices each player on your team will need to register individually through our regular registration.
We’re committed to providing an exceptional experience for all our players and can’t wait for another great season of softball. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for being a part of our program!

HEAT INDEX
Heat/Heat Index Rule: During the season, the league will assess the temperature and heat index each day at 4pm. On days when the temperature has reached 95 degrees or the heat index has reached 100 degrees at 4pm, or whenever the weather is unfavorable for practice (i.e. fields are unplayable due to rain, etc.), the league will cancel all practices. If the league cancels practices, NO teams are allowed to practice. The Brandon Valley Youth Softball Association utilizes http://weather.gov for official temperature. All coaches, parents, and players can access our web site at www.brandonvalleysoftball.com The league will notify players and coaches of cancellations or weather related announcements via email and Facebook.
During non-cancelled practice times, the decision of postponing or ending practice is ultimately up to each coach. Good judgment should be applied in assessing the current weather conditions at the practice site.
