About Us
Fairfax Adult Softball (FAS) administers the largest adult softball program in Northern Virginia and voted Number ONE by Northern Virginia readers. FAS is a nonprofit corporation, incorporated in May 1977, and registered in the state of Virginia. FAS is governed by a Board of Directors each of whom are elected at the annual meeting of the Corporation. All Directors and Officers serve without financial compensation. FAS has two paid staff members, but its operation depends heavily upon the countless volunteer hours donated by its members.
FAS exists to promote the general welfare of the adult softball program within Fairfax County, on behalf of the individual participants, at all levels of organizational emphasis and play. To this direction, FAS offers three seasons of play and several leagues in which to participate in Spring, Summer, and Fall.
We have several leagues within our program and each league is divided into divisions. Our goal is to have each division be competitive, so we try to place each team in a division with other teams of the same caliber play. The leagues are as follows:
Men's. The league is for men only. Men's play can be broadly classified as Excellent to Fair. The very competitive teams are placed in the upper divisions.
Reston Men's, Church and Coed. Reston leagues play all games on fields located in Reston and Herndon. Participants must be men in the Men's and men and women in the Church and Coed leagues. Divisions are seeded based on competitive strength with an emphasis on a team night of play preferences
Men's Masters. Participants must be men and must be at least 35 years old by December 31 of the current year. Men's Masters is a Summer league.
Women's. The league is for women only and is a Spring and Fall League.

Games are played at park or school fields located in Fairfax County and are played as double headers, one night per week. Each team must supply softballs (as designated in the FAS Rule Book) and their own bats, gloves, and any other playing equipment (except bases, which FAS provides). There is no uniform requirement for any league.
At all times, 2/3 of your roster must be Fairfax County residents. (Exception for teams comprised entirely of full-time employees of a sponsoring company located in the City or County of Fairfax; note: under this exception and for corporate coed teams, roster eligibility must be verified by an official of the sponsoring company.) For all leagues, the roster limit is 30 maximum (12 minimum), however, the non-county maximum on any roster is eight.
