Northshore Girl's Slowpitch Softball Association
We accept all skill levels and abilities, from girls in kindergarten through the 12th grade
Official Slow-pitch Softball League of The Northshore Area
The NGSSA is a local and recreational slow-pitch softball league dedicated to a for-fun learning experience for girls in the Northshore area. Team sports are an important part of confidence building for every girl.
NGSSA was founded in the Northshore area near Seattle in 1971 by a group of volunteers with the vision to provide the opportunity for girls of all ages in our community to play and enjoy softball. NGSSA is still staffed by volunteers who enjoy working to continue this tradition. For 48 years, thousands of girls have participated in the NGSSA.
We do accept a limited number of Pre-K players if they will be entering kindergarten in the following school year. Reach out to us at info@ngssa.org for more information.
Another Season in the Books – Thank You, NGSSA 2026!
What a season it's been! From the first pitch in March to the final out in June, the 2026 NGSSA season was filled with incredible moments, big plays, and even bigger smiles. To every player, parent, coach, umpire, and volunteer who made this four-month season possible — thank you.
This year's division champions proved that hard work and teamwork pay off. Congratulations to the Scorpions for going undefeated in the High School division, the Royals for dominating the Middle School division, and the Axolotls for an outstanding run in the Minors — you all made us proud!
Watching our girls grow in confidence, build friendships, and fall deeper in love with the game is exactly why NGSSA has been a cornerstone of the Northshore community since 1971. Whether it was a first hit, a diving catch, or simply cheering on a teammate — every moment mattered.
A special thank-you to our generous sponsors — John L Scott, Bothell Pediatric Dentistry, and Allshouse Designs — for their continued support of our league and our girls.
We'll see you on the field in 2027. Until then, keep swinging!
