WELCOME TO GOLDEN VALLEY GIRLS SOFTBALL!
Golden Valley Girls Softball is for girls interested in a fun, slowpitch softball experience. The league's Junior Division is for girls who are currently in 3rd - 6th grades and the Senior Division is for 7th - 12th graders. The season begins in mid-May (practices start in late April) and ends in late-July, with each team playing 16-18+ games (usually two per week) and two weekend tournaments.
GVGS has been a premier softball league for over 45 years, having been founded in 1973. Our success is based on a philosophy of "the game is for the girls" and a focus on skills, fundamentals and fun. GVGS is recognized as one of the finest slow-pitch leagues in Minnesota.
All games and league tournaments are played in Golden Valley in partnership with the Golden Valley Parks and Rec. We welcome girls from ALL CITIES and we have players from many different cities and schools districts, public and private. All participants receive a uniform t-shirt and all girls play in each game. All girls play, regardless of skill level or past experience.
GVGS Safety Plans and Policy Updates
Coaches, Players, Parents and Spectators - Please take some time and read the league Safety and COVID Preparedness plans.
New in 2021 - Players can use their own bat if they choose!
As always, the league will provide each team with several bats. For the first time ever, however, players in 2021 can use their own bat if they so choose, provided the bat meets GVGS specifications and is pre-approved by GVGS. Click the link below for GVGS's bat specifications. Details about how to get a personal bat approved for use in GVGS will be provided at a later date.

Open positions are scheduler, sponsorship director, and secretary. Feel free to contact Lenny Segal, GVGS President, for more information about the open positions, time commitment, and any other questions. Being on the GVGS Board is a very rewarding experience and it's so much fun to see the joy it brings to so many during the season. Please consider joining! Thank you.
UMPIRES NEEDED
If you are a former GVGS player or coach, you are a great candidate to become a USSSA slowpitch umpire. As a certified USSSA umpire, you will be able to umpire GVGS games. There are some great things about being an umpire.
