WHAT TIME DOES THE OPENING CEREMONY BEGIN AND END?
We’re all about listening to our teams. In the past, one of the concerns was insuring that we get all of the games in. We’ve asked numerous teams if they would rather work harder to play all of their games in case of bad weather or have an Opening Ceremony, they have all stated that, while they love an Opening Ceremony, they would rather get the games going.

WHAT AGE DIVISIONS ARE OFFERED?

This year’s World Series will be 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U.

HOW DO I PAY THE ENTRY FEE?

Yes; you may use PayPal to pay your entry fee when you submit the entry form. A link is provided on the Play FSSA page on our website.
