🥎 What an incredible night for softball in Stanfield! 🥎

Our Stanfield Parks & Recreation Softball Skills Clinic was a HUGE success, with over 50 young athletes coming out to learn, improve their skills, and have fun! Seeing so many girls excited about the game is exactly what youth sports are all about.

A huge THANK YOU to our outstanding volunteers who poured into these young players:
👏 Emily Smith – Head Softball Coach, West Stanly High School
👏 Lily Hartsell – Belmont Abbey College Pitcher
👏 Blaine Long
👏 Courtney Lisk
👏 Alisha Oliver

Having local high school and collegiate softball leaders investing in the next generation made this clinic extra special. Your knowledge, encouragement, and willingness to give back to our community made a lasting impact on every girl who attended.

Thank you to all the players and families who joined us. The future of softball at West Stanly is bright, and we’re already looking forward to the next skills clinic!

💙💛 Together, we’re building something special in Stanfield!
