2026 GGSA Summer Tournament
Thanks to everyone for a great 2026 season, even if some of our age groups were impacted mightily by summer weather..
Tournament Information:
- 8U will be a randomly seeded single elimination bracket.
- 10U, 13U and 18U will be seeded based on winning percentage into a double-elimination bracket. Seedings are final and will be based on scores in hand as of 7/3/26.
- The tournament will run Monday through Thursday (Friday for 8U and 10U).
- Teams should expect the possibility of playing each night through the week, sometimes multiple times a night. Every attempt has been made to avoid more than 2 games per night, and there should not be any cross town travel the same night.

Help Build a Batting Cage Training Facility for Gering Athletes
We are currently exploring the development of a new batting cage training facility in the park to serve youth baseball and softball players throughout our community. This project is in the early planning stages as we work to determine final costs and secure the funding needed to bring the facility to life.
The proposed facility would include four 15 × 65 foot lanes designed for both hitting and pitching development. Two potential construction options are being evaluated:
A fully enclosed metal building that allows for year-round training
A roof-only structure that provides weather protection while maintaining an open-air design
Once built, the facility will support training and development for:
GGSA Western Nebraska Fury Fastpitch
GO Baseball
Gering Public Schools athletes
Regional travel baseball and softball tournaments hosted in our area
This project represents an important investment in the future of youth athletics in Western Nebraska—creating more opportunities for skill development, community engagement, and sports tourism. Accepting Donations & Sponsorship Support
Gering Girls Softball is now officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
This designation allows us to pursue grants, corporate sponsorships, and tax-deductible donations from individuals and businesses who want to support local youth sports.
Community support will be critical to making this facility a reality. Contributions of any size help move the project forward and directly impact opportunities for young athletes across the region.
If you are interested in donating, sponsoring, or partnering on this initiative, we encourage you to connect with us and be part of building something lasting for the next generation of athletes.
Together, we can create a facility that strengthens our programs, supports our schools, and grows softball and baseball in Western Nebraska.
Softball is Coming!
