New Youth Softball League Coming To Loudoun County
Loudoun's youth softball league dissolved after the 2023 spring season. Now, the Loudoun South Little League is looking to fill the gap.
LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Loudoun Girls Little League Softball saw its final pitch this spring, leaving the area without its own dedicated youth softball league. This fall, the Loudoun South Little League will look to fill the gap with a softball league of their own.
The Loudoun South Little League unanimously voted in favor of starting a softball league at a recent meeting. Officials said preparations are already underway to start the league this fall.
Joe Soricelli is the president of the Loudoun South Little League board.
