Fastpitch Softball Lynden Youth Sports organizes and facilitates a fastpitch softball program for girls in grades 3-6 (2nd grade girls are welcome to play co-ed baseball, see Baseball for more information). Girls from grades 3-6 who attend school or live in the Lynden School District are able to register themselves to play fastpitch softball for approximately 6 weeks in the spring. The softball coordinator and committee will place the players that register into different teams based on their grade. The teams will be made up of players that go to different schools. Each team is allocated with a coach and assistant coach, who will organize one practice session per week for his/her team. The practice sessions usually begin 2 weeks before the season starts and every week during the 6-week competition. The 2007 season runs from the third week of April until the last week of May, with make-ups the first week of June if necessary. There are two games played every week, one during the week and one on Saturday. All games are played at Bender Fields.
