San Francisco Bay Sox

San Francisco Bay Sox Girls Baseball

A project of the San Francisco Park & Rec Department, The San Francisco Bay Sox Girls Baseball Program is the largest girls baseball program currently operating in the US.  Founded in 2015 by former Women’s Baseball players Rachelle "Rocky" Henley and Alex Oglesby with the desire to field an all girls’ team to represent San Francisco in the inaugural Baseball For All National Girls Baseball Tournament.

The Bay Sox Program has grown to provide year-long developmental activities and teams and higher-level travel teams for girls ages 6-18. Since its inception, the Bay Sox has expanded from one team of 12 girls to serving over 120 girls annually with our clinics and teams, in our quest to show the world just how much the game of baseball needs women and girls.

We have made huge strides in the Baseball For All National this summer in Sparks NV July 21-24, 2025.   The 10u ended up in third place with winning their last game of the tournament, The 12u improved with getting a win under their belt while the 14u won the minor Championship! The 16u won their last game of the tournament to be the third place major champions.  All the players and families had a great time!

The philosophy of the Bay Sox program is to provide an inclusive, safe space for the development of female baseball players. The Bay Sox program will develop competitive baseball players that can confidently tryout and play for any baseball team they choose. Our program aims to provide female players with the same opportunities that are traditionally offered to their male counterparts. 

The Bay Sox program offers Summer-Fall travel teams, Spring SFYBL teams, Winter workouts, and Fall/Winter monthly free baseball clinics.
