It's easy to complain when something isn't working in your community, but it's quite another to do something about it. But that's what one Redwood City couple did when they realized their daughters and other girls in their city were missing out. As Kate Kelly reports, they stepped up to the plate...
Founded in 2006, the Redwood City Girls Softball League is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation whose purpose is to provide recreational and competitive girls' fastpitch softball programs.
We field teams for girls ages 5 thru 16. Girls of any ability are welcome, and the main purpose is to teach/learn the great game of softball and to have fun. Divisions are provided for "Recreational" teams, intended for beginner to accomplished players, and also more competitive travel teams, intended for girls with above average ability and experience and/or players interested in a more competitive environment.
Our Core Objectives:
To provide an educational, character, and self-esteem building program for the benefit of
the community through teaching and promoting in the game of softball, particularly
among young girls ages 4 1/2 thru 16;
To promote the social welfare of the community through programs that help combat
juvenile delinquency;
To act and operate exclusively as a nonprofit corporation pursuant to the laws of the
State of California and the United States, and act as a charitable organization in
lessening the burden to local government by enhancing and augmenting any community
youth programs currently operating.
Financial Scholarships Available: The RCGSL board recognizes that there are children within our community who would like to play but cannot afford the fees. As a result, RCGSL has established a fund to provide scholarships for those who need financial assistance. Contact the league by sending an email to scholarships@rcgsl.org to be considered for a full or partial scholarship. You can also call our league phone number at (650) 641-2526 and leave a message.
