A message from the Director:

Welcome to the HGSL 2011 Season! As our Junior and Senior Divisions begin game play this week, we are very excited about this upcoming season. While much is the same as last year, behind the scenes, we’ve changed a few things this season so that our players, coaches and families will have an even better experience this year! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions. So – let’s PLAY BALL!

Bob Guessferd

Director, HGSL

*************************************************************************************************

IN ORDER TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION WE CAN BE, WE MUST HAVE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE ACTIVE IN THE EVENTS OF THE SEASON.  Over the last few years, the daughters of our board members have 'aged out' of the league and the members have stayed due to a lack of volunteers. This creates a huge disservice to the girls as the parents of active girls ARE A KEY COMPONENT IN identifying and implementing the current needs of the organization. The Director and Deputy Director positions will be available for the 2012 season and we are seeking volunteers to 'shadow' our current leaders to familiarize themselves with the positions. In addition, we are looking to fill the following positions for the 2011 season.

   *Equipment Manager

   *Banquet Coordinator (end of year)

   *Division Photographer

   *Fundraising Coordinator

   *Treasurer (background and references required)


Please indicate your interest in volunteering on your registration form, respond to this email or get more information at registration.

Thank you

Welcome to Hudson Girls Softball League web site. The Hudson Girls Softball League provides a rewarding softball experience to both recreational and tournament softball players in Hudson, New Hampshire. It provides an environment for softball skill and character development for the benefit of all the young girls in the community. The program pulls together the community to provide the strongest program for our girls with the most value, without catering to individuals. It is governed by by-laws written by and supported by the Hudson community, and has served our community well for over 20 years.

The program emphasizes fun and provides for a great exchange of fellowship, sportsmanship and an all-important feeling of belonging and being a part of something worthwhile. The ASA has made an investment in the future of softball with its ever growing Junior Olympic program. Each year, more than one million boys and girls across the country play ASA Junior Olympic softball. ASA is a softball organization, not biased by baseball pre-conceived notions.

These programs help develop interest, skills and desire in a new generation of softball players - the ideals needed for these young people to excel individually and, ultimately, ensure the continued growth of the sport.

Our spring recreational teams are open to all girls (grades K through 11) who reside in or go to school in Hudson NH. All children who register to play in the recreational program are placed on a team.

Our tournament and travel teams often play year round. They participate in both indoor and outdoor "A" and "B" level ASA Junior Olympic fast pitch tournaments and leagues throughout the region. Our teams have won several prestigious tournaments, including ASA State and New England Regional championships and have placed well in National championship play. Our "A" level teams bring together great coaching and the strongest players from the region so that our Hudson Athletes have an opportunity to play competitive ball locally, even aspiring to play college ball. "B" level teams are oriented toward girls who participate in our recreation program but desire a higher level of competition and team play and to develop the skills needed to play the more competitive A ball. In combination they serve all our girls. Refer to the Heat page for more information.

We are sponsored by many organizations in and around the Hudson area. We would like to thank those organizations and individuals. Please check out our sponsors.

Hudson Girls Softball is open to all girls, Grades K thru 12, who reside in, or go to school in Hudson.

PLEASE NOTE

The Hudson Girls Softball League is a non-profit organization. The league depends on donations and sponsors to help keep costs down. There are going to be fund raising opportunities during the softball season. Any help that you can provide with these opportunities is greatly appreciated. If you know of anyone who would like to be a team sponsor or would just like to make a donation please ask them to visit our web site at http://www.hgsl.org.
