Girls Little League Softball in Naples, Florida
Welcome to the official website for the Naples Girls Softball Little League organization! We are in Little League Florida Section 6, District 27. We hope the site provides you entertainment and information in a timely and enjoyable fashion.
The mission of the Naples Girls Softball Little League is to strive to structure a system that will enable all players to learn how to play fast pitch softball to the best of their natural ability. Thus fulfilling two goals:
1) To introduce recreational players into the program at the correct level where they have the opportunity to advance to the best of their ability.
2) To provide an adequate system for the talented players, enabling them to advance to the next level of play. Including the step from little league to high school.
Our volunteers will guide our efforts to accomplish this mission.
A Volunteer Application is available on-line - Click the word Handouts in the column to your left. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader V8.1. This is a free download.
