Women in the Roanoke Valley deserve a recreational softball league built specifically for them.

The Roanoke Women’s Softball League, or RWSL, is a new adult recreational league created for women of all experience levels. Some players grew up playing. Some have not stepped onto a field in years. Others will be picking up a glove for the first time.

What they have in common is the desire to move, compete, build friendships, and be part of something that belongs to them.

This league was created because women in our community have had very few opportunities to play organized softball outside of competitive or co-ed programs. RWSL is changing that by creating a low-pressure, high-fun league where women can show up as they are and still experience the connection, confidence, and joy that come from being part of a team.

Why We Need Your Help

Launching a new league takes more than players and a field. Your donation will help cover the essential costs needed to build a safe, organized, and sustainable first season, including:

Field rentals and facility costs
Softballs, bases, scorekeeping supplies, and team equipment
Uniforms and player materials
Officials and game-day operations
Field marking and maintenance equipment
Marketing and community outreach
Other startup expenses needed to successfully launch the league

Every contribution helps move us closer to opening day.

The Impact of Your Donation

Your support does more than purchase equipment or pay for field time. It helps create a space where adult women can reconnect with a sport they love, try something new, build friendships, and feel part of a community.

It also helps us keep participation costs as accessible as possible so that more women can join, regardless of their background or experience level.

A donation of any size makes a difference:

$25 can help purchase game-day and field supplies.

$50 can help provide softballs, bases, or team equipment.

$100 can help cover uniforms or game operations.

$250 can help support field rental, maintenance, and league startup costs.

$500 or more can help make a significant portion of the inaugural season possible.

Businesses Can Help Build This League Too

Local businesses and community organizations are invited to support RWSL through donations, sponsorships, equipment support, and in-kind contributions.

Supporting the league is an opportunity to invest directly in women, recreation, wellness, and community connection in the Roanoke Valley. Business supporters may also be recognized through league communications, social media, game-day signage, and other sponsorship opportunities based on their level of support.

This Is More Than a Softball League

RWSL is about creating something women in the Roanoke Valley have been missing.

It is a place to play without needing years of experience. A place to compete without losing the fun. A place to build confidence, friendships, and community.

This is our league. This is our time.

Help us bring the Roanoke Women’s Softball League to life by donating, sharing this campaign, or becoming a community sponsor.

Every dollar, every share, and every supporter brings us one step closer to the first pitch.
