October 2015 | Stay in Softball Sponsors Akron Buchtel Middle School Softball Team
|
The Akron Buchtel Middle School softball team's fall season almost ended before it started due to a lack of equipment and uniforms. The Lady Griffs had to forfeit their first game and were about to cancel its season when they were put in contact with Stay in Softball. A few days after we received the call, we were at a Lady Griffs practice with a truck load of equipment for the team. All of the players were able to pick out their own bat, helmet, facemask and glove (and cleats if we had the size). The team was also given two sets of catcher's equipment, two tees, and a hefty supply of softballs. Stay in Softball also solicited donations for team uniforms and raised enough money to purchase a set of team jerseys and provide many pairs of new and used softball pants.
After being supplied with the much needed equipment, the Lady Griffs were able to compete and ended up with a winning record for the season. The team was also invited to attend a free SIS clinic with Howard Kobata and will be invited to our free clinics over the winter. The players, their parents and Coach White were very grateful for the assistance and thank all Stay in Softball's donors and players for their assistance! |
