PGSL Field Status


Poway Girls Softball League (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.   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).  PGSL funds itself entirely from registration fees (among the lowest in San Diego County), community sponsorships, and snack shack sales.   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 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 PGSL offers.

Every activity in the league is focused on:

  • building self-confidence
  • promoting good sportsmanship
  • delivering positive reinforcement
  • developing fundamental skills
  • gaining results from hard work
  • fostering a love of the sport
  • providing opportunities to excel
  • most importantly, having fun
     


Poway 2023 All-Stars



Each year PGSL organizes and offers these programs for the community:

Spring Recreational Season-RecBall  (February through May) - 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 & older. The program provides our girls the opportunity to compete against the other local, state and national All-Star teams.

Fall Ball Season - (formally called WinterBall) (August through November) -  A semi-competitive, skill-building environment for any player in age divisions 8U-14U desiring more instruction and opportunity to play.   Games are played against other leagues in northern San Diego County.

Fall/Winter Ball Season - Phantoms (November through April) -  The Fall season is a great opportunity for players to continue to build on skills and experiences from the prior spring season as well as a great way to gain exposure for the girls who will be moving up to the next division. Moving up divisions typically involves a larger ball and further pitching distance. While there is significant focus on fundamental skills, the season remains competitive when playing with other North County League teams. 
 

The biggest change is players will land on teams that are set to their appropriate skill set level, meaning more experienced players together, and those novice or new to the game together on a team, with a focus on appropriate development, players will continue to grow in their abilities and stay safe on the field. Each division will form a 1 team, 2 team, 3 team, etc. based on the number of players registered per division and based on number of volunteer coaches. 

Phantoms 2022-23

Coaches Training- In preparation for Rec Ball, PGSL provides hands-on instruction for all of our head coaches, prior to the Spring Rec Ball Season.

Skills Clinics- PGSL offers our players clinics covering basic and advanced skills development that is conducted by local professionals and high school/college level athletes.

Student-Athlete Recognition - At the end of our recreational season we award $50 to all 6th - 8th grade 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.
