Newark Girls Softball League

2020 Season Cancelled

This has certainly been a difficult time. We have been monitoring the COVID19 situation for two months now with hopes that softball could be played this spring. Unfortunately, it does not look like that will be possible anytime soon and the NGSL Board has decided to cancel the 2020 season.

The league has incurred costs directly related to this season (registrations with USA Softball, insurance, uniforms, etc.). We are making plans to refund the fees you have paid less these costs. However, if you would like to turn that refund into a tax-deductible donation to the league we will be happy to provide a receipt to you. The Board is discussing making a donation to O'Sullivan’s in support of their meal giveaway program. O’Sullivan’s has been providing breakfast or dinner to students. We would like to help O’Sullivan’s support our students with their free meals program during these times.

If you wish to make the donation please email us at newarkgirlsoftball@gmail.com by Friday, 5/22 to let us know (the sooner the better). If we don't hear from you we will begin processing refunds during the week of May 25th.

The Board will continue to meet to plan for the 2021 season. As always, we are looking for new members to contribute. The league needs your support planning and growing the league. Please contact us to join a meeting.

Best wishes to everyone. Stay healthy and watch for announcements about the 2021 season.
