Learn to love the sport early.

Central Whidbey Little League is offering a free softball skills clinic for girls ages 5-13, a prime opportunity to tantalize your children with the allure of diamond life.

The camp is set for Monday, Feb. 16 at Rhododendron Park, and all the info is in the photo above.

Girls can bring personal equipment if they have it, but CWLL will also have extra gloves available for prospective players.

The event can be a great icebreaker, especially for those who may not have played the sport previously.

“We’ve found that softball/baseball often needs a lot of prep and commitment from parents,” Mandi Black said. “And it can feel easier to say no than to sign up and buy all the gear without knowing if your child will even like the sport.

“So, we had an idea, this is a “come try it out” opportunity.

“A chance for kids to test the sport, have fun, see how amazing it is, and then decide if it’s something they want to sign up for.”

Build the present, build the future.

Softball success is booming on the prairie, and a big part of that is the older girl’s willingness to work with their younger counterparts.

Current Coupeville High School players, who are flying high with a 17-1 record this spring, took time Wednesday to mentor the sluggers who will follow in their footsteps.

The Central Whidbey Little League Minors team — 14 players and four coaches — trekked over to the CHS fields, where they worked with the Wolves on a typically breezy “spring” day in Coupeville.

“The varsity players did a fantastic job running the show,” said CHS coach Aaron Lucero.

“Windy and cold, but nobody complained.

Bethany Hopkins and her (CWLL) coaches have done a great job instilling passion for the game in their team.”
