All games scheduled for tonight, Thursday, May 22, have been postponed due to poor field conditions. The infields remain soft, uneven, and unsafe for play. We will reschedule and communicate updates to coaches as soon as they are available.
Opening Day may have been a little cold, but the spirit on the fields was anything but! It was great to see the girls out there playing hard, having fun, and kicking off the season together.
We’re once again partnering with Impact Fundraising to raise money for the league through our popular GVGS Discount Cards—just $20 each for a full year of savings at 12 local vendors (including offers valid anywhere in the Twin Cities!).
Here’s what you need to know:
Let’s work together to support the league. All fundraising proceeds go directly toward making GVGS better for your players!
GVGS is committed to fostering a positive, encouraging environment for our players—and we need your help to make that happen.

Remember: your words and behavior set the tone. Let’s model self-control, respect, and positivity so every girl feels proud and supported on the field.
Thank you for being part of GVGS—where the game is truly for the girls!
