Girls Programs
Welcome to Girls Baseball
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 dryfit jersey, hat, photo and an award.
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 can sign up for the all-girls Ottawa Girls Baseball League or the 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.
Here's a quick summary of what's available. Scroll down further to find program details for each division.
