It takes a village to raise ball players.
With a lot of help from the community, Central Whidbey Little League roared back to life this spring, jumping from 81 participants back up to 118.
That reflects baseball and softball players ranging in age from 4-12 and shows a marked improvement as the world continues to come out of a pandemic.
CWLL President Gordon McMillan offered big thanks to the Island County Parks and Rec Department, which handles maintenance and grooming of Coupeville’s Rhododendron Park.
“We call Rhododendron our ‘field of dreams’,” he said.
McMillan also thanked the league’s many volunteers and paid tribute to local businesses which “so generously contributed to our just concluded and very successful 2022 season.”
