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.

  • This rule is for all leagues and all divisions and is not optional.
  • Games will be stopped immediately if lightning is seen or thunder is heard from the field. If a game is being played at a multi-field complex, any one game being halted shall stop all games.
  • You must wait 30 minutes before allowing play to resume. If there is another clap of thunder or lightning is seen again, the clock is restarted. If the game delay exceeds one hour, the game or games are postponed and everyone must leave the field.
