Girls Softball is a Glen Ellyn Park District program run with the assistance of the Glen Ellyn Girls
Softball Association. The program teaches girls softball skills, while promoting teamwork, skill
development, game rules, good sportsmanship, and fun.
HOUSE LEAGUE (GRADES PRE-K TO 8): Our softball program gives girls a chance to play and
have fun while learning softball skills, teamwork, game rules, and sportsmanship. Leagues are
recreational at the younger ages and become progressively more competitive as players grow
older. We strive to provide development and options to keep it fun as our players grow older and
play to their level of competition.
The spring program is the House League. Teams typically play two games per week (one
weeknight/one Saturday) at Ackerman Park. Teams are formed in mid-March and practices begin
in April. The season runs through the end of June. Team shirts and protective equipment are
provided by age group. Girls must supply their own gloves, bats and helmets. The program is highly
dependent on volunteer coaches and assistants. The Glen Ellyn Girls Softball Association offers
support through league commissioners, coaches’ clinics, and training materials.
TRAVEL: For more information about the travel program, refer to the Glen Ellyn Girls Softball
website. House League participation is a requirement for the part-time travel program. At the
conclusion of House League, tryouts are scheduled in August for the next year’s travel programs.
