fallBALL: Fall Ball is getting fired up. Fall Ball is an excellent way for the girls to keep up on their skills and play a relaxed schedule. The season generally runs early September through mid October with each team playing two games per Sunday. The fee is minimal ($50 or less) and each player receives a team shirt. Forms may be downloaded from this site and mailed back to the league no later than August 15th. We currently have coaches for all levels. You may be contacted to see if your daughter is interested in playing Fall ball.

fallCLINICS: Starting Wednesday Sept. 17 we will be holding clinics/practices for all girls ages 12 & UP at the Complex (most likely on Field 1). Start time will be 6:30 and run for approximately 1 1/2 hours. We will also have times available following the Fall ball home games for any girl interested in brushing up on their skills. Many players from the local Blast team will be at there to help. Both Clinics will run into late Fall depending on participation. Please feel free to contact John Squadrito if you have any questions 852-5502.
recentNEWS: We are excited to report that the Board has approved two major improvements to our complex. Field 2 has been resurfaced and feild 1 repaired. This will minimize the need to cancel games on Field 2 in the future and help to keep scheduled games in tact. The pitcher's mound, home plate and batter's boxes received permanent clay bricks to assist in the durability of those areas. In addition the field was "cut out" and material spread over the entire surface. Another major improvement is an addition to the concession stand which is scheduled to be completed this Fall. This being a much needed improvement, will provide additional space for freezers, coolers and storage to support the tremendous growth the league is experiencing. Both improvements are a result of feedback we received throughout the year and from surveys completed at the end of year picnic. Financially the league is in great shape and we are putting funds back into the league for the benefit of the entire membership. It's because of your support that this league is so successful. We all should be proud of our league!

The BGSL summer travel program provides players the opportunity to play softball in a more competitive environment. The girls play against other area leagues in the Hudson Mohawk District Traveling League and also participate in tournaments. A commitment is required of all players to attend practices and games. Travel teams are scheduled to play 12 games, which include two double-headers in June and weeknight games throughout July. In addition, the teams will compete in tournaments. The registration fee will be approximately $150 which includes high quality uniforms. Teams may and are encouraged to fundraise to help offset costs.
