About Girls Softball

Compete for Regional Pride

Athletes register to represent their region in a highly competitive round-robin tournament. There are four regions in the Granite State Games — Lakes, Monadnock, Coastal, and Southern.

Each regional team is coached by experienced high school and club coaches who dedicate their time to developing players and building a competitive squad in a short but intense window.

Softball at the Granite State Games is competitive, community-driven, and unforgettable. Athletes come away with sharper skills, new friendships across the state, and an experience worth returning for.

What Players Say

“Softball at the GSG was unlike any tournament I have played. The competition was intense, the coaching was elite, and wearing my region’s jersey filled me with so much pride.”

“I played against girls I had seen at school ball all season and did not know how good they were until we competed together. This tournament brings out the best in everyone.”

— Lakes Region, 2023
