Chaska Youth Softball Association
Welcome
Welcome to CYSA's internet dugout. CYSA's goal is to provide the youth of Chaska and its surrounding communities the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of softball in a safe, fun, and positive environment while teaching the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. CYSA offers two softball programs for its youth: In-House (recreational) and Traveling (competitive). CYSA is affiliated with the Chaska Parks, Recreation, and Arts Department, but equal status is given to all girls from the area covered by School District 112.
