DONATE
We are focused on girls exclusive supplemental training and competitive opportunities. Our aim is to reduce the financial burden to encourage girls to continue playing sports, whether their primary sport is baseball, softball, or other sports.
As a non-profit organization, we strive to offer MORE opportunities for girls who play baseball. Donations and sponsors help us to provide training and support to keep girls in the game they LOVE playing. All funds received go towards providing clinics, workshops, leadership/mentoring opportunities, uniforms, tournament fees and more. We appreciate your support in helping to create a community for girls in Wisconsin!
Girls in Baseball
Girls and women have been part of the game of baseball since the 1860s. In the 1940s, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was founded in the Midwest. 1973 marks a shift in attitudes towards girls and women playing baseball, when Little League lost their case in the Supreme Court to ban Maria Pepe and girls like her.
Opportunities to Play
Girls have 1.3 million fewer opportunities to play high school sports than boys have. Despite this disparity, there are a growing number of opportunities in baseball for women. There are all-girl youth baseball teams, 6 women’s college teams and a USA Nationals Women’s team. There are women playing, coaching and umpiring professional and college baseball. In the summer of 2026, six teams will begin their first season in the Women’s Pro Baseball League.
Despite the benefits of actively participating in sports, only 1 in 3 girls between the ages of 6-12 participate in sports on a regular basis. By the time they reach their teens, 40% of girls are not actively participating in sports. Despite a long history in baseball, many girls are told to stop playing and switch to another sport, simply because of their gender. Baseball For All was founded by Justine Siegal after being told that baseball is for boys, and softball is for girls.
Secret in the Spotlight
After the 1974 Supreme Court ruling, Little League formed an alternative softball division for girls. Since then, softball has grown in popularity among girls and is commonly believed to be “baseball” for girls. In November 2009, however, the NCAA ruled that baseball and softball are two different sports. As such, a school having a softball team is not a legal reason why a girl could be denied an opportunity to play baseball.
Some girls love softball. Some girls love baseball. Some girls love both.
We support each girl’s decision to play the sport SHE loves!
