This year marks the 50th anniversary of Little League Softball. According to littleleague.org, Little League Softball started in 1974 with just two divisions. Today, there are approximately 300,000 athletes from over 25 countries playing in five divisions.
On Saturday, more than 200 members of the Queen Anne Little League Softball community came together at Bethany Presbyterian Church for the Girls With Game Softball Jamboree to celebrate the players. Softball players and their families were treated to ice cream and popcorn and several awards were given out. Each of the eleven teams awarded two players on their team: one coach’s choice award for growth mindset and one player’s choice for most valued teammate, prioritizing positivity, supportiveness, and good sportsmanship. They also honored Anh Nguyen, QALL Vice President of softball, for her commitment to the teams and nearly doubling the program in the last five years.
Tom Koerick, the former QALL President, said, “QALL is so lucky to have Anh leading the way for softball! Her energy and enthusiasm are so contagious and the girls and their families are making memories that will last a lifetime. Let’s hope that more girls continue to come out and play in the years to come!” For more, go to qall.org.
