If you are interested in coaching please contact the coordinator for the appropriate division. They will have a list of girls from the pool to help you create a team. Mike Robbins, the president of the league, has copies of current Participant Manual Official Rules of Softball to give to new coaches. He also has packets of the forms needed to be filled out for each team. These packets must be turned in by the first game along with registration fees. The league can also help out any teams with equipment needs if funds are too tight.

Just because you have never coached before does not mean that you cannot do a good job. There are many softball clinics in the area that can teach you drills and the other training tools. The internet also has many YouTube videos and thousands of other sites to aid you in your journey as a coach. The Mesquite Public Library has books on coaching as well. Many parents want their daughters to have the experience of playing, but too few are willing to coach. It requires time, dedication, and a lot of patience. However it is extremely rewarding when the girls and the team you created reach success! You have the opportunity to get involved in your community and make a difference in the lives of so many girls.

Anyone who will be in the dugout MUST have a current background check. You must also attend a coaches meeting with area ASA Official. City of Mesquite-Youth Coaches Code of Conduct form must also be completed and turned in. The forms to fill out are in the new coaches packet. Or forms may be downloaded from this website under Team Forms under the Main Menu. If unable to print check with division coordinator.

We have implemented a new **Alert** system for MFSA. Once our members sign-up for a free MyLeaguelineup account, they can then provide a verifiable phone and email address, to receive text messages and emails from this system. It will be used for rain-out/field conditions, and coach/league information. The first step is to look under the MFSA Menu, just below the 'Visitor Counter' is another box containing the 'MyLeaguelineup' sign-up. Follow the instructions and you will then be able to receive these Alerts.

Effective today all age groups will play their alloted time. 6U will play 1 hr, and 8U and up will play 70 mins, and finish the inning. If time expires and either team is ahead by 7 or more runs the game will end at that time. We need the umpires and coaches to work together to insure every player has had at least one at bat. We will allow those that have not batted, an opportunity to do so, even if we exceed the three outs per inning. MFSA is committed to giving all players a chance to play and we will do whatever it takes to accomplish this goal.
