At Golden Valley Girls Softball (GVGS), every girl is guaranteed a spot on a team and the chance to play in every game, no matter their experience level! Our league is built on a commitment to providing equal opportunities for all players, with the freedom to explore multiple positions on the field.

Juniors play on Monday/Wednesday evenings, and Seniors on Tuesday/Thursday nights, with all games held at Lions Park (151 Louisiana Ave. N., Golden Valley).

GVGS is a true hitter’s league, focused on helping players enhance their offensive game while building a solid foundation in defensive fundamentals.
