Parkland Girls softball is excitingly waiting for the 2016 season to begin. After serving the residents of Parkland for over 10 years, the program is anticipating new participants because there are no residential requirements and also due to the development of ‘The Wedge.’ The Parkland Girls Softball program is open to girls from any city ages 7 to 16 years old. Practices and home games are held at Terramar Park with away games held in neighboring cities, Coconut Creek and Coral Springs.
“Coaching these girls and helping them learn the basics and fundamentals of Softball as well as the meaning of good sportsmanship continues to be an amazing experience. It’s a privilege to coach here in Parkland! “ – Coach Sal
President Jeanne Perretty is stepping into her third season with the league, and also currently serves as President of the Parkland Baseball League for her 11th year. She says, “My daughter Samantha came through the softball program, and it really made a big difference for her.” Away at college now, Jeanne is convinced that being part of the league taught 23 year-old Samantha important life lessons that will ensure her future success.
Jeanne implores, “We are eager to form a Board of Directors for our softball league, and welcome any volunteers who will dedicate their time and expertise to help run a much bigger and more quality program.” With enrollment currently at 70 girls, she hopes to expand the league to 125 players.
The season runs from January through May. Sign ups are underway. www.ParklandLittleLeague.com or email Softball@ParklandLL.com
