Register Online for the 2015 Humboldt Fastpitch Girls Recreational Softball Season!


We are pleased to open registration for the 2015 Season of Humboldt Fastpitch, the Recreation Division of Mad River Girls Fastpitch Softball!  Registration will remain open until March 1, 2015, after which late registration will commence. Registration after the deadline will be subject to availability and a $20.00 late registration fee.  However, players are asked to register early through the online system as it will help our all-volunteer staff to organize and schedule the 2015 Season. Note that late registration will close on March 14, 2015, after which parents must contact Regional Rec Program Representatives or the Board of Directors to be added to a wait list, and will be notified and allowed to register late if space is available.

The RECREATION DIVISION SOFTBALL SKILL ASSESSMENT is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Feb 22nd at the Field House on the Humboldt State University Campus and will run from 10 am to 3 pm.  Please note players 8 years old and under (8U division) do not need to attend the assessment. However, if an 8U player wishes to play up an age division they must attend the assessment. Specific times for the assessment for each age group are as follows: 
  • Age 10 and under at 10:30 am
  • Age 12 and under at 12:00 pm 
  • Age 14/16 and older at 1:30. 
Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your age-specific assessment time to allow time to check in at the registration table and to warm up!  We need to stress the importance of attendance at the assessment as player evaluations will allow effective distribution of players to teams.
We highly encourage you to pay the registration fee online by credit card.  However, if you must pay by check/cash, please print the confirmation page and provide with your payment so we can properly credit your account.  For those unable to pay by credit card using our secure online system, payment may be made on-site at the assessment or mailed to MRGFS Registrar, PO Box  4361, Arcata, CA 95518.
