Winter Clinics

Please come and participate

and see how much fun your

daughter will have. The clinics

provide various drills and ex-

ercises to help strengthen and

develop the basic fundamentals

while learning the game of

softball. They are not manda-

tory and are provided by the

league free of charge for any

girl who is registered with the

league. There is no sign up

necessary to attend and you

may come as often as you

like. The clinics are provided

by the league to help the girls

maintain their skills through

the winter and to build confi-

dence and self esteem when

playing softball for the up-

coming season. Clinics will

resume 2nd week of January.

See egsoftball.org for clinic

schedule.

Happy New Year!!!

Improvements at EGGSL P A G E 3

Did you see the new

batting cages this

year at the Patriot

field and the new

Pepsi machine by

Patriot?? These are

just some of the

improvements we are

making for our

league. We have

also upgraded the

sprinkler systems,

and have a new net

on the batting cage

at the Winne field.

New fences were installed at

Winne field and will be in-

stalled at the Patri-

ot field in the

Spring. There were

many safety concerns

with the current

fences. Now that the

season has ended, we

will be looking at

the concession stand

and doing some upgrades

such as: energy effi-

cient appliances, a

bigger grill.

One girl can be

a crucial

ingredient on a

team, but one

girl cannot

make a team.”

Now Open!
