Confucius Says:
"One who is out on a called third strike has no one to blame but themself. There is no excuse one can give to justify standing there and letting the ball go by when you already have two strikes against you."FOURTH OF JULY PARADE!!!
The nation's birthday is coming up soon and what better way to celebrate than with a parade. WGS invites all of its members, no matter what age or level to join with us on the Fourth of July. What could be more fun than having the young ones ride on a flat bed truck and the older girls marching along behind, yelling out and waving at the village residents along the way? Parents and chaperones are also welcome. Candy donations would also be gratefully accepted, to be dropped off at the launch site the morning of. (Any kind as long as it is not chocolate or anything prone to melting in the sun). The kids really enjoy tossing out to the crowds. Lineup for the parade is down Mayfair Avenue, north of Dorchester at 9:00 a.m. We don't have our slot number yet, but as soon as we get the word from the powers that be, it will be posted for all. Come on out and be with us for this great event. It will be lots of fun! We look forward to seeing you there.
July 1, 2025
Call it the Westchester dust bowl as the Arctic Aces and the Blackhawks battled it out on a field so dry it was like playing on talcum powder. Flying grit was everywhere and got into everything and when someone tried to slide it created a storm that hid everything from sight. Nonetheless, the girls played through and dealt with the mess until the Hawks emerged with an 8-3 win in regulation. It was a fairly tight game through four innings with the Aces holding on to a two run advantage on the efforts of Georgia Gage (2-4, double, triple, RBI), Samantha Spagnola (1-4, double, RBI) and Brooklynne Neals (2-3), but the Hawk bench came alive in the fifth and cleanly erased the lead with a seven-run streak in the fifth and sixth. Anna White (2-3, double, three RBI’s), Olivia White (2-4, two RBI’s), Edith Richied 2-4, two RBI’s) and A’Nya Thompson (2-4) put the Hawks ahead for good with their bats. Both teams ended the seventh empty on runs and game ended at 8-3 in favor of the Hawks.
Under the lights, the Lavender Leopards punished the Vipers, taking a convincing win in six innings by a score of 17-2.
What Does A WGS Season Look Like?
Just in case you are wondering what a typical WGS season consists of, the following may help:
T-Ball (K and 1st grades) meets on Saturday mornings at the Middle School fields, starting the first weekend in May. Sessions run from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. The season last approximately 10 weeks and concludes mid-July;
The Junior Division (grades 2, 3 and 4) plays on Wednesdays and Fridays at 6:30 p.m. Occasionally, for odd scheduling purposes or to make up rain outs, they may play on Mondays as well. Games, all of which are played at the Middle School fields are limited to 5 innngs or 90 minutes, whichever comes first. The Junior season typically starts around the third week in May and runs to the middle of July;

Games are 7 innings long and are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a few Sunday afternoon games thrown in as well. Games are typically played at 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. (under the lights).

About WGS
WGS is a community based not-for-profit corporation established and maintained to provide a summer recreational softball program for the girls of Westchester and nearby suburbs. The league is organized into four main divisions: T-Ball, open to Kindergarten and First graders, T-Ball offers competitive games in a beginner/teaching atmosphere to help those entering the sport learn how the game is played; Juniors, a competitive group of teams for second through fourth graders that play against each other on Wednesdays and Fridays while still maintaining that learning base; Minors, for fifth through eighth grade girls where the competition on Tuesdays and Thursdays gets tough and teams vie for divisional and end of season tournament honors. We may be slow pitch, but we are still damned competitive and loads of fun. And coming soon - fall ball!
