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. Whether you're looking to improve your defense or sharpen your hitting skills, GVGS is the perfect place to grow.
We offer two divisions: the Junior Division for girls in 3rd-6th grade and the Senior Division for 7th-12th graders. Practices kick off in late April, with games running from mid-May to late July. Teams typically play 16-18 games per season, along with two weekend tournaments. 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. With over 50 years of history, we are proud to welcome girls from all cities, providing a fun, supportive environment for everyone. Join us to be part of a league where every player gets a chance to develop their skills and make lasting memories on and off the field!
