💙As Northwest Softball mientras nos preparamos para la próxima temporada, estamos decididos a garantizar que nuestro programa sea representativo de toda nuestra comunidad. Si bien hemos observado una gran participación en nuestra zona en general, reconocemos que los estudiantes de su escuela históricamente han estado subrepresentados en nuestra liga.

Nos encantaría cambiar esta situación. Creemos que todos los niños deberían tener la oportunidad de jugar, y nos comprometemos a eliminar las barreras que puedan impedir que sus familias se unan a nosotros. Para ello, ofrecemos lo siguiente:

Ayuda financiera: Podemos brindar apoyo a los estudiantes que lo necesiten.

Apoyo con el equipamiento: Podemos ayudar a proporcionar el equipo necesario a los jugadores que no dispongan del suyo propio.
