Registration for the Montgomery Girls Softball League is open for the 2011 recreational softball season. Now in its 10th year, the Montgomery Girls Softball League was founded with the mission to help develop the character and self-esteem of girls and young women through athletic competition. The League is fully volunteer-run and is committed to providing the opportunity for girls in the Montgomery Township and Rocky Hill community to play fastpitch softball, regardless of skill or prior experience.
Each year the League fields 25-30 recreational teams for girls in kindergarten through 10th grade. Last season over 300 girls participated. League brackets include the Instructional League for kindergarten and 1st grade girls with no prior experience, the Minor League for girls in the 1st and 2nd grades, the Junior League for girls in the 3rd and 4th grades, the Senior League for girls in 5th and 6th grades, and the Major League for girls in grades 7 through 10. In addition, the League runs numerous skills clinics and sponsors a Fall Ball program.
The League’s travel program, the Montgomery Mavericks, has expanded to include teams at the 8-and-under, 10-and-under, 12-and-under, 14-and-under, 16-and-under and 18-and-under age levels. Teams compete in the Mid-State Girls Softball League and play in tournaments throughout the summer and fall. The Mavericks are one of the oldest and most successful programs in the state, with numerous travel league and tournament championships at the regional and state level. The Mavericks also host a sanctioned National Qualifier Tournament each year in Montgomery Park. Additional information about the Mavericks can be found at www.montgomerymavericks.com.
The 2011 season will begin in April and conclude with Championship Sunday in June. For more information and to register, please visit www.montgomerysoftball.com.
