Miss Scotties Softball saw a need for girls in Ballston Spa and the surrounding communities to have " a league of their own" and the organization was formed in November, 2006. The organization runs a developmental girls softball league that teaches the fundamental skills of the game, the basic ideals of sportsmanship and enjoyment of the sport. Miss Scotties offers both a recreational and a travel program. The recreational league is non-competitive and is open to all girls aged 6-16. Recreational softball is played from mid-April to mid-June. The Travel program is a competitive league suited for girls with a serious interest in the game. The travel teams play other teams in the area and may also compete at tournaments at the State and National level. The season for Travel begins in April and ends in July. Miss Scotties also offers a recreational “Fall Ball” program from early September to early October. Teams in the Fall Ball program play various other teams throughout the Capital District through early October. In the winter season, various clinics on pitching, hitting and fielding are also offered.
