Welcome To
Greater Cleveland Athletic Association Recreation League Softball
Welcome to GCAA Softball
The GCAA Fast Pitch Softball program is growing by leaps and bounds every season. We currently have softball programs for girls age 4 to 16. If you were to ask any of the girls who are participating in our softball program our main focus, they would all say “HAVING FUN”. Our program focuses on giving our girls an enjoyable experience while teaching them the fundamentals of softball. We also teach discipline, good sportsmanship, dedication, and leadership. We use softball as a vehicle to enhance our young ladies in a positive manner and to also keep them physically active. We feel it is very important for the girls in our community to have an athletic program that is solely focused on THEM. Who are we? We’re the Cleveland Angels!
