The Arucian Softball League (Gaullican: Ligue de Softball Arucien), known as the LSA or ASL, is a professional softball organisation based in Sainte-Chloé. Founded in 1946, the League was envisioned to be the women's counterpart of the Arucian Baseball League. Despite early financial troubles, funding issues and the closing of franchises in other former areas of the United Provinces, the League became popular on the island of Sainte-Chloé as a popular baseball off-season sport. To this day, it remains a popular secondary sport in Sainte-Chloé, following Baseball and Arucian football.

Due to rainy conditions, the league is notable for playing both outdoor and indoor games, although outdoor is the ideal condition.
