Girls Programs
Welcome to Our Girls Baseball League
Girls in South Ottawa Little League (SOLL) can play in an all-girls environment from age 4 to 16. All skill levels welcome - friend requests welcome. Players receive a dry-fit team jersey, hat, photo and an award.
New for 2024
- addition of a senior division (age 15, 16)
- single elimination playoff round following the regular season
- game results and standings posted on D2 website
- games continue on Sundays, however may be scheduled at any time based on field availability
All teams will kick off the season with a scheduled practice on Sunday May 5. Game schedule starts May 12, ending no later than July 31 inclusive of playoff games. Regular practices are encouraged, usually one per week and will be organized based on coach and player availability.
We are proud to offer programming specific to girls and players that identify as a girl to encourage fun, participation and skill development in an inclusive environment. Girls are also welcome to play in our co-ed division and if desired may play in both. SOLL is run by volunteers. The success of our programs is dependent on the availability and dedication of volunteer coaches, team managers and parent helpers. Please consider helping out on your child's team - you can indicate your area of interest when you register. In particular, we encourage moms and other interested females to get involved in coaching. Female umpires are assigned to the girls league whenever possible. Of course, males are appreciated too.
