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
Each year PGSL organizes and offers these programs for the community:
Spring Recreational Season - RecBall (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, PGSL provides
and requires regular classroom and hands-on instruction for all of our head coaches.
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.
Youth Umpire Program - We provide an opportunity for older
girls to learn to umpire through official
training. In addition, they can
earn money working as umpires at many of our league games.
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.
