FGS is a 100% parent-volunteer organization – no board members or coaches are paid. There were over 250 girls participating in the organization for the 2019 spring season. This takes a lot of time and effort to run such a program. Many on the current board of directors will not be returning under their current positions as most of them will no longer have daughters participating in FGS due to aging out or moving on to more competitive programs. In fact, a few of the members do not currently have daughters participating yet they continue to assist in growing our program.
These departures present a high demand for assistance especially from our younger and newer parent members. The current board members have agreed to stay with the program as advisors to help in the transition of operating the league over the course of the next year. This will be of great value for those not familiar with the program. You do not need any softball experience to help in many of these positions. “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something”
FGS is more than just softball, it is an organization that teaches our young ladies life lessons and empowers them for their future endeavors. Being a part of this organization is a way to help instill growth and change in your community by assisting in the development of our young women. “Be a role model just because you can & because you care”
