Castro Valley Girls Softball League

UPDATE 7/27/2021

CV Synergy 14U will be holding tryouts for the 2021 Fall season on Tuesday, 8/2.  We are looking for a few impact players to round out our current squad. Our travel ball team is a competitive program; designed to enhance skills, strategies, and player development. The Fall team will continue to be led by coaches Mark Peterson and Roxanne Rufino. If you are interested in the Synergy 14U team tryout or have questions, please contact Mark directly at goldenwestcs@gmail.com or text at 510-760-7600 for more details.

CV Synergy 14A were runner up at the AST Queen of Diamonds Gold Bracket in Ceres this past weekend. It was hot, but the girls played well. Congrats Ladies.

CV Synergy 14A played in their first tournament of the summer at the AST Gumball in Fremont. They made it to the championship game. Congratulations.

We wanted to thank you for a fun, tremendously successful spring clinic. We received a lot of positive feedback, both in person and through the recent survey, and it has encouraged us to keep going this summer.

We would love to offer more clinics for your girls this summer and keep the momentum going.

In order to provide more softball, though, we need more help from the CVGSL community. Please consider joining the CVGSL Board.

We need more parent volunteers to fill out the CVGSL Board, and the circumstances are dire. The Board has been a skeleton crew for the last several years, with board members wearing multiple hats, and we simply need more help.

CVGSL has been a volunteer-led organization for 50 years, and its mission has been to provide safe, fun outlet for the girls in our close-knit community. The Board is what keeps this machine humming, planning and executing all of the CVGSL-sponsored activities. Without an active board, we’d be unable to provide the girls in our community the opportunity to play softball in their home town.

Our Board currently includes four parents whose kids graduated from the organization a long time ago. While we’ve appreciated their contributions to the league, it’s time for them to step back from the board and pass the torch.

In addition to these four retiring board members, we also have several other open positions. We’ve had these open positions for quite a while, and the solution has been for one board member to do two or three (or four or …) jobs. This simply isn’t sustainable.

We need six to eight new board members ASAP to keep Castro Valley Girls Softball League going.

The worst-case scenario is that the league shuts down, and any Castro Valley kids interested in rec softball will have to travel to a neighboring city.

The best-case scenario is that we limit the number of kids who participate, shutting down registrations after reaching a certain number, which would deny some families the opportunity to play softball in their community.

Please reach out for more information if you’re interested. With enough board members, the time commitment would be manageable for everyone, even for the busiest of schedules. Contact cvgsltreasurer@gmail.com. 

It takes a village. Please help us help the kids in our community, and join the CVGSL Board if you’re able. 

Thank you.
