WEEKEND RECAP
Wow, what a busy weekend.  We had 5 different Rustbuster clinics (80 players), 2 Try Softball Intro clinics (40 new players), and 2 u15 ID Camps (32 players) … a total of over 150 participants in 3 days!  Also, we completed our first successful volunteer sign-up weekend, with credits earned towards your Volunteer Bond requirements!  Great to see so many coaches back out in the gyms.  Congrats to everyone who made it a fun, successful weekend.

LOST & FOUND NOTE
At West Hill Softball, we are typically unable to keep a collection of forgotten items and equipment from our clinics (unless it has your name on it).  In most scenarios, we leave any items behind (e.g. this weekend included sweater, a glove, fielder’s mask, batting gloves, and bat. I believe we have a missing bat, plus a fielder’s mask from January 14).  To track down your lost item, please contact the facility first before reaching out to us.  And Please Please Please, put your name on ALL your gear, wherever you can.  Thank you!


REGISTRATION UPDATE
As of tonight, we are up to 245 registration, which puts us on pace to potentially surpass last year’s record total of 405 players!
Let’s keep the momentum going, and refer your friends!   Did you know over 50% of our new registrations come from Word Of Mouth?  Send them our 2023 Season Info

Thank you,
