FTGS League Mission Statement
Franklin Township Girls’ Softball is organized to provide young ladies a wholesome spring and summer activity to compete in a team sport. The spirit of this league is to have fun, teach the fundamentals of fastpitch softball, learn sportsmanship and fair play, and broaden a child’s circle of friends. Competition is an integral part of this spirit, but 'win at all cost' mentalities are not. We ask players, parents, coaches, and fans to follow this spirit, as we do in our decisions regarding the management of this league.
