Our Girls House League is the next step after the co-ed program. South London girls play in the Community Softball league ad use an underhand windmill style of pitching also known as fastpitch. Our program is designed to build on the skills taught in the co-ed program and further develop these skills as the player progresses in age. If a child has not played in our co-ed program, house league will still give your child a chance to learn the fundamental skills before moving on to more advanced drills.
The main goals of our house league program are teamwork, skill development, sportsmanship, friendship and most of all fun. We aim to create an environment where every child feels welcome and part of the team, regardless of skill level. House league teams have one practice and 1-2 games per week, each running approximately two hours. Home games will occur on the same day each week, as will practices for easier scheduling. Minimal travel is required as all home games will take place in the same location and road games will mostly take place within the city limits with the possibility of playing in St. Thomas, Dorchester and Delaware.
House League Rules can be viewed from the League Links section at the bottom right of this page.
