Bourne Youth Girls Softball is a non-profit youth organization created to provide an opportunity for girls from Bourne in grades 1 through 12 to play softball. The objectives of the league are to develop skills and interest in the game of softball, as well as to promote teamwork and good sportsmanship. We strive to provide a positive environment in which the girls can learn the game and enjoy healthy athletic competition.

In order to help achieve these objectives, we have established three programs to accommodate the various age groups within the league. We provide an Instructional League for girls in 1st and 2nd grade, Minor League for grades 3 - 5, and Major League for girls in grades 6 - 8. We also offer a summer traveling program for 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U divisions.
