2024-2025 Kings Grant Softball

ENROLLMENT: COMING SOON!!!

Our girls youth (7-15) softball league is designed to teach fundamental skills and teamwork in a fun environment. Equal participation, sportsmanship, and teamwork is emphasized. No experience necessary. Division is determined by the player's age on September 30.

KGLRA Softball is relaunching our program under the tutelage of a new executive steering committee made up of neighborhood volunteers.
