Richmond Girls Softball Association is now Richmond Softball Association!

At our recent AGM, a motion to rebrand our organization to Richmond Softball Association passed.

This change has been under discussion for several months and enables us to promote diversity and inclusion for all our members.

We will gradually make changes to our website and association documentation to reflect this change.

Look for our new logo on clothing, uniforms, and other merchandise next season!
