The eight teams are made up of 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under, 16 & Under, 18 & Under. SGF has a strong track record of identifying and developing talented young softball players. That experience has led to several of their teams competing very well at the national level, with several young women continuing their softball careers in college.
