About Us -

Vienna Girls Softball League (VGSL) is dedicated to providing the chance for school age girls in Northern Virginia to play softball at all levels from 6U to 18u as well as national tournaments.

VGSL was launched as the VPPL (Vienna Pigtail/Ponytail League) in the early 1960s by parents who wanted girls to have similar opportunities to boys for competition in athletics. There are no paid officers. Volunteers give hundreds of hours a season to coaching, readying fields, and carrying out the numerous duties required for the operation of the league.

The league is widely known for its “Select” or“Travel” teams that compete for state, regional and national championships, but it is the “House” league that is the heart of the VGSL. House league is where the girls learn to play and love the game.

We are trying to improve communication on field status.  A service is being tested which will update in this section, update facebook and send you a text message if you signed up.

Note: status section will be blank if there are no recent entries.

Weather Policy

  • Lightning: suspend play immediately
  • If during the suspension, you see lightning or hear thunder, the 30 minute clock resets
  • Thunder alone does not stop play
  • Player safety should be first priority - if severe weather is approaching, be prudent

    • Volunteering

    VGSL depends on volunteers to operate our league. Please consider a board position to help keep VGSL the Premier Softball league in Northern Virginia.
