Welcome to the Flower Mound Youth Sports
Association (FMYSA).
FMYSA started in 1990 to provide children
in Flower Mound and the surrounding areas with a safe and
organized environment to learn how to play baseball and
softball in a recreational atmosphere.
Since its humble beginning FMYSA has grown
rapidly, with thousands of boys and girls playing baseball
and softball on hundreds of teams.
We offer both Spring and Fall seasons.
Our seasons generally run as follows:
Spring, early March
to late May.
Fall, early September
to late October.
Teams play 10 to 12 games throughout
a season, generally 2 games a week; sometimes 3.
Weeknight games generally begin no earlier
than 5:30 pm, with the last game starting around 8:00. Times
vary by age group, with the younger age groups (5 and 6)
playing the earlier games. Saturdays are big at FMYSA! Almost
every team plays, with the first games starting around 8:00
am.
FMYSA does not schedule games on Sundays.
However, due to inclement weather and the limited number
of playing fields, we reserve the right to schedule makeup
games to start no earlier than 1:00 pm on Sundays.
Practice days and times are determined
by each team's head coach. Teams are encouraged to have
two planned activities (practices and/or games) each week.
Coaches generally consult with parents
regarding practice days and times. But, due to the limitations
on fields and our "field practice lottery," coaches
are constrained on their flexibility of practice times.
We ask that you work with your coaches and understand that
they may not always be able to accommodate every family's
schedule. Be aware, some coaches choose to practice on Sundays.

Field Lottery
Why and How It Works
Why
Practice Field Lottery?
The tremendous growth of FMYSA has created a
real challenge. Even with our new fields, we
have more teams than practice fields.
To manage the shortage, we
use a practice field lottery system.
How
It Works At our association coach's
meeting at the beginning of each season, we conduct
a lottery. All coaches draw a number out of a
hat.
Then, starting with the number
1, coaches can select a practice field, day,
and time. This is done until all coaches have
selected.
Unfortunately, this means that
many coaches don't get optimal practice days
and times. This is what we mean when we say
that coaches are constrained when it comes to
determining their practice schedules. Be aware,
some coaches will practice on Sundays.
