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.
Did your player love Rec softball? Our Travel program might be right for her!
Tryout registration for the 2025-26 season is now open. The travel season runs from August through July, with Fall Ball, Winter Workouts, and Spring/Summer local travel and tournaments (depending on the age and skill level, travel may extend out of the local area).
The tryout schedule is below. If your player is interested, please complete the tryout registration form here by July 11, 2025.
Players are only required to attend one tryout date (unless trying out for multiple age levels). If you are absolutely unable to make any of the tryout dates, please indicate in the form. All tryouts (even private) must be completed by Thursday, July 24th to be considered for a 2025-26 roster. Tryouts are free of charge and required this year due to the expected volume of players (no walk-ins allowed). If players are offered a position on a team, formal registration and fees will apply.
