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.
