This league is strictly recreational for the 4 towns.  The focus for most is developmental, fun and establishing a love for the game.

The better players in this league and those girls who want to want to play in a  more competitive league with better pitching, better teams and much more advanced level of play will choose to play Summer Travel Softball.

Girls can play both or just one, it depends on what the player wants and availability this summer.

Summer Travel Softball is the next level or organized softball in Hingham.  It is a big step up from Recreational Softball, but not at the club level. Divisions are not based on grade, but strictly by age and this league is only open to girls born from 2001 - 2011.  Teams participate in the South Shore Summer Softball League and often a Tournament late in the season (we have not confirmed participation in any tournaments this year)

Divisions:

• 10U (Players born 2009 - 2011) 
• 12U (Players born 2007 - 2008)
• 14U (Players born 2005 - 2006)
• 18U (Players born 2001 - 2005) 

Travel

• Practices will be in Hingham
• Games expand beyond Cohasset, Hingham, Norwell or Scituate

Expected Nights of Play

• 10U & 14 U Play on Tuesday & Thursday
• 12U & 18U Play on Monday & Wednesday

Dates of Play

• Practices will start over the next 7-10 days
• Games start June 29 (Pending the approval of Phase 3)

This difference in the caliber of play is visually obvious.  The focus is still developmental and fun, but advanced concepts and strategies are introduced.

The better players from the Recreational League, Club Players and girls who want to play competitive softball and learn the game are encouraged to play.  The girls do not need to be one of the best in their age group, they just need to have desire to improve and become a better player through the summer season.

Girls can play both or just one, it depends on what the player wants and availability this summer.

HGS encourages all girls, grades K-8, to participate in this fun and exciting organization.  We provide players at all ages and skill levels an opportunity to play on a team that is right for them.

Our Recreational League stresses learning, fundamentals, lots of playing time and fun.

The Travel League is more time consuming, competitive and competes against the best young athletes on the South Shore.
