Our Philosophy

The Newtown Girls Softball Association is a volunteer, non-profit organization for girls ages 5 through 18. All funds collected and raised go to directly back into running our organization.

The athletes that participate benefit by having a year-round program. Our regular season begins in April with with practices and games and concludes in mid-June. We provide a tournament schedule after regular season ends, along with a Fall program and Winter instructional clinics.

We provide equipment, uniforms, team and individual pictures along with trophies to each athlete who participates.  We require parents who have daughters participating to volunteer and contribute to the organization. We accept all registrants regardless of ability and without predjudice.

We look forward to working with your daughter and developing her softball skills. Come out and help support the Women of Tomorrow!
