OPENING DAY was a great success, due in large part to the tireless efforts of our organizers and volunteers, including: Jaime Bracco, Lynn Kersey, Ana Fuentes, Kelly & Scott Ponchetti, Amy Malloy and Molly Garvey.
THANK YOU!!
Our recent players' clinics hosted by the Immaculate Heart Varsity Softball team and the Marlborough Softball teams at Lemon Grove Park have been outstanding!
Wilshire Softball players are fortunate to have these opportunities to work with older players to practice softball fundamentals and learn new drills and skills - many thanks to the high school teams' coaches and players for their support!
Please support our Field Improvement Campaign!

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS AT WILSHIRE SOFTBALL!
Accessible, quality field space has proven to be one of the critical challenges facing Wilshire Softball.
We are pleased to announce that giant strides have been made to overcome this hurdle. We have secured the necessary permits from the City of Los Angeles and obtained the required insurance to allow us to contract with a recognized athletic field contractor to accomplish MAJOR FIELD IMPROVEMENTS at both of our "home fields": Lemon Grove Recreaton Center and Queen Anne Recreation Center.
Our contractor has been re-grading the infields, adding over 100 tons of new infield mix and soil conditioner for state of the art play and drainage, cutting a perfect radius into the outfield with new grass tie-in, install and improve irrigation, and reset all bases. Additional improvements to the dugouts and storage at Queen Anne are also planned. Work at Lemon Grove commenced November 21st and at Queen Anne on December 5th and will be completed prior to our 2012 Spring Season.
Stop by and check out your NEW FIELDS!
But we need your help!!! This project will cost about $40,000 to complete all three fields at both parks, and we must raise the funds quickly. While we have received permission from the City of Los Angeles to do the project, they cannot assist with covering all the cost. Marlborough High School, which uses Lemon Grove as their teams' home field, has graciously agreed to assist us with funding for that park's project. We also have received a commitment from a group of anonymous donors to MATCH ANY FUNDS DONATED collected through Wilshire Softball families, but we need 100% participation. Please add your donation for this important project through the 2012 Spring Season registration portal starting on November 18th, or you can contact wilshiresoftballregistrar@gmail.com for information about where to send your donations by check.
We are a 501c3 corporation so all donations are tax-deductible and we are eligible to receive matching gifts from employers.
