LANCO Youth Softball Fastpitch League

Home
Welcome to the Lanco Youth Softball League

We are the only youth softball program for girls from 8 to 18U serving Lancaster County. At the January 2017 meeting, the existing Donegal Rheems Girls Softball League association members unanimously agreed to combine with the Lancaster girls youth softball association. There are now 18 organizations that are part of our group as we serve to provide a fun, educational and competitive environment for the girls to learn and enjoy the benefits of playing softball. As of January 2021, the league name has been officially changed from the DRGSL to the Lancaster County Girls Softball League (LANCO).
