The Niskayuna Girls Softball League (NGSL) provides a rewarding softball experience to both recreational and travel softball players in the Niskayuna area. NGSL is dedicated to teaching girls about the sport of softball and how to work together as a team in a supportive and encouraging environment. We provide a positive learning environment and teach the skills necessary to play competitive softball.
