Welcome - , to the POWAY GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE (PGSL) website. The PGSL is a non-profit organization operated completely by volunteers and is registered with the Amateur Softball Association (ASA), the preeminent softball organization in America, as a Class "B" league in District 31 of Southern California Region 14. The PGSL was founded in 1967 to provide an opportunity for girls ages 5 through 18 to play fastpitch softball in Poway, California (located in northeastern San Diego County). The PGSL funds itself entirely from registration fees (among the lowest in San Diego County), community sponsorships, and snack shack sales. The PGSL supplies girls everything they need to play softball except shoes and a glove. We waive fees for those girls needing financial assistance (application required) - no girl is ever excluded due to financial concerns. 
At the PGSL we offer a supportive, inspiring environment where the emphasis is
on ensuring the girls enjoy their experience no matter their softball
experience level. Girls new to softball are provided extensive instruction
and skill development. Those girls more serious about softball are provided
the opportunity to discover their full potential through competitive programs
that the PGSL offers.
Each year the PGSL organizes and offers these programs for the community:
(February through May) - An intramural league program that provides a recreational and instructional environment for girls ages 5 and older. Summer All-Star Season (May through July) - A competitive environment for our more adept and dedicated players, ages 7 and older. The program provides our girls the opportunity to compete against the other local, state and national All-Star teams. Fall Winterball Season - WinterBall (August through November) - A semi-competitive, skill-building environment for any player age 8 and older desiring more instruction and opportunity to play. Games are played against other leagues in northern San Diego County. Coaches Training - In preparation for RecBall, the PGSL provides and requires regular classroom and hands-on instruction for all of our head coaches. Skills Clinics - The PGSL offers our players clinics covering basic and advanced skills development that is conducted by local professionals and high school/college level athletes. 
Savings Bond Recognition - At the end of our recreational season we award $50 savings bonds to all girls who turn in Spring report cards with all A's as a way of encouraging the girls to be good students as well as athletes. Summer All-Star Tournament - Each year, PGSL hosts the Poway Summer Heat Classic Tournament. It's a fun and exciting way to spend a weekend watching top quality youth softball teams from all over Southern California compete. 
2005 will be an exciting year for the PGSL and the girls that participate in our league. We will be dedicating brand new fields in the city of Poway's newest community park, Aubrey Park. We are coming off of one of the most successful years in PGSL history, having sent our 12U (11 & 12 year olds) team to the ASA national tournament in College Station, Texas after finishing fourth at State and second in Districts. And we've just completed our WinterBall season in which we had more participation than ever before, and more teams than any other league in our district. So, come join the fun, make new friends, and participate in the exciting team sport that is girls fastpitch softball. |
