My Project

Our girls softball team is passionate, dedicated, and eager to grow their skills—but we’re currently missing some key training tools that would take our practices to the next level. We’re seeking support to fund a hitting mat, tee, batting net, and a pitching tool so our athletes can develop their fundamentals and build confidence in every swing and throw.

These tools will allow our players to train more efficiently and safely, no matter the weather or field conditions.

A quality batting tee and mat help refine hitting mechanics, while a portable net makes it possible to practice anywhere. The pitching tool will help our pitchers gain accuracy, consistency, and strength. With these resources, our players will be better prepared for game day—and their hard work at practice will really start to pay off.

Every donation, no matter the size, directly supports our team’s growth and success. You’re not just funding equipment—you’re providing opportunity, encouragement, and the chance for these young athletes to take pride in what they do. Thank you for helping us give our girls and our Athletic Boosters.
