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 currently are in 3rd - 6th grade and the Senior Division is for 7th - 12th graders. Practices begin in late April, with games starting in mid-May. The season ends in late-July. Each team is scheduled to play approximately 16-18 regular season games (usually two per week) and two weekend tournaments.
All games and league tournaments are played in Golden Valley in partnership with the Golden Valley Parks and Rec. In 2021, all regular season games are scheduled at Lions Park (151 Louisiana Ave. N., Golden Valley).
GVGS has been a premier softball league for over 45 years, having been founded in 1974. 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.
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.
Extra Player Uniforms & Fan Shirts
This year, GVGS is offering the opportunity to order extra player uniforms and fan shirts.
The extra player uniforms will be an exact copy of the league provided uniform. The cost is $15 per uniform. This will provide some breathing room trying to wash those uniforms after every game.
In addition, GVGS is excited to offer fan shirts this year! This will be a uni-sex JERZEES® - Dri-Power® 50/50 Cotton/Poly T-Shirt. It will be the same color as your player's uniform with "Golden Valley Girls Softball" on the front, no design on the back. The cost is $15 per shirt.
Please use the link below to order. All orders must be placed by April 27th.
Orders will be distributed along with player uniforms the week of May 15th.
Players can use their own bat if they choose!
The league will provide each team with several bats. Players also can use their own bat if they so choose, provided the bat meets GVGS specifications and is pre-approved by GVGS. Click the link under the "Policies" tab for GVGS's bat specifications.
