Vienna Girls Softball League (VGSL) is dedicated to providing the chance for school age girls in Northern Virginia to play softball at all levels from beginning tee-ball through national tournaments.
VGSL was launched in the early 1960s by parents who wanted girls to have similar opportunities to boys for competition in athletics. There are no paid officers. Volunteers give thousands of hours a season to coaching, conditioning playing fields, and carrying out the numerous duties required for the operation of the league.
The league is widely known and respected for its “Select” or “Travel” teams that compete for regional, state and national championships, but it is the “House” league that is the heart of the VGSL. House league is where the girls learn to play and love the game.
