Here is some new and exciting information for residents of Grapevine, Texas. As of January 1, 2010, Grapevine Youth Baseball (GYB) is officially changing its name to Grapevine Baseball and Softball Association (GBSA) and will be offering a softball program for girls playing Coach Pitch (7U) and above.
GBSA is looking forward to providing girls softball in 2010. To make sure that area girls have the best program, GBSA will strive to offer softball leagues that rival and exceed those offered by other cities.
One of the places in Grapevine GBSA will play games, will be at The Oak Grove Ballfield Complex. Located at 2520 Oak Grove Loop South Grapevine, Texas 76051
