Our Mission
The purpose of the Sudbury Girls' Softball League is to provide all Sudbury and Lincoln girls the opportunity to take part in the competitive game of "slow pitch" and "modified fast pitch" softball in the spirit of fun and good sportsmanship. The overall philosophy of the League is that all girls should have the opportunity to compete, but having fun should be of maximum importance. No girls should be excluded for monetary reasons.
SGSL is a non-profit organization that is made up of parents in the local community. Their charter is to guide the direction and continuous improvement of the league. SGSL is a member of MAJOASA.
