The
ABCDD Girls Softball League was founded in 1962 by Bob and Marge Sorensen with
approximately 40 girls. Now with almost 800 girls and growing, the league has
become one of the largest recreational softball groups in the state. The
mission of ABCDD Girls Softball is to facilitate a safe, positive learning environment
in which the young ladies of Grand Island and surrounding areas can learn
about, and participate in, the sport of fast pitch softball while enhancing
their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline.
It is our hope that years from now they carry with them
wonderful memories of their participation in the program and exhibit the
character traits taught: a good work ethic, dedication to realizing a goal,
self-motivation, the value of teamwork and, most importantly, respect for
themselves and others. All of our volunteers work to facilitate this mission.
We believe our children are our most precious assets and represent the future
of our community.
