Fauquier Fusion Philosophy
“The FGSA Tournament Team Division is committed to developing those players looking to compete at a higher level of competition. FGSA tournament teams are committed to incorporating and stressing the fundamental aspects of fast pitch softball; creating local tournament team opportunities for girls in and around Fauquier County while keeping time and monetary commitments to a manageable level. Our goal is to build and train cohesive and competitive teams, and to develop fully rounded softball players who exhibit character, integrity and athletic performance and to provide a healthy, safe and reliable environment in which to play fast pitch softball.”
