NORTH FULTON FEEDER (NFFL) SOFTBALL PROGRAM INFORMATION (2/18)
The North Fulton Feeder Softball League was formed several years to provide an opportunity for middle school softball players to compete as part of a team representing the high school for which they were zoned to attend. Players in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were invited to tryout for their respective high school teams typically in July and August with practices beginning in the middle of August. Teams would then play a schedule of 8-10 regular season games culminating with an end of the season tournament at Twin Creeks Park in Cherokee County. In addition to the teams representing North Fulton, middle school teams from Cherokee County also participated in the tournament.

In 2008, teams from Northview, Chattahoochee, Milton, Roswell, and Alpharetta participated in the league. With the exception of Northview, it was the 2nd year of participation for these schools. Northview participated for the 1st time in 2008. Representing Cherokee County were teams from Woodstock, Cherokee, Sequoyah, Etowah, and Creekside. Northview, in its initial year of participation, brought home the championship to North Fulton with Milton placing 3rd overall and Roswell 4th. In 2009, in its inaugural high school season, Johns Creek participated in the feeder league expanding the league representation to six local high schools. In 2010, the league continues to build on its solid base and reputation with the addition of two Forsyth County schools to the program. South Forsyth and Lambert High Schools, both members of Region 7-AAAA, will enter teams in the North Fulton Feeder League this Fall expanding the league to 8 schools.

The middle school teams are able to practice and play on their respective high school fields through the support and cooperation of the head coaches at their schools. The feeder teams, although loosely associated with the high schools, are run by volunteers and are not sponsored by the high schools or the county. The teams must be self-funded and self-equipped. Many schools rely on the booster club to identify volunteers to organize and run the feeder team while other programs take a more active role.

Plans for a Johns Creek High School feeder team for the 2010 season are presently underway. Check back to this web site for more information on coaches and tryouts for the 2010 program. Click on the link below for more info on the North Fulton Feeder League.
