Sandy Plains Softball announces free clinics as spring registration continues

As the new year dawned we posted that several East Cobb youth baseball organizations were continuing spring registration, and that’s also the case on the softball front. The Sandy Plains Softball Association has announced that it will be holding several free fundamentals clinics later this month as the sign-up period continues.Sandy Plains Softball

The dates for those fundamental clinics are from 6-7:30 p.m. on Jan. 23 (Tuesday) and Jan. 25 (Thursday) at Sandy Plains Park, 2977 Gordy Parkway (our calendar listing has more).

After those clinics is a Fun Day on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 12- 2 p.m. at the same venue, and it includes walk-up registration. Evaluations are on Sat. Feb. 3, starting at 10 a.m.

Sandy Plains Softball also is accepting applications for the Allison Beasley Scholarship, which will be awarded to one recreation league (non-travel) team girl during the spring season. The scholarship is named for a former Sandy Plains Softball Player who died at the age of 12 in a car accident in 2015.

The above link has full information to apply, including a required letter from each applicant about “what softball means to me,” and where to send that and the forms. The deadline is March 10 and the winner will be announced shortly after that. The selected girl will wear  jersey No. 10, the same number Beasley wore, in her honor during the season.

Opening Day is March 17.

Online registration for Terrell Mill Girls Softball starts on Saturday and continues through Feb. 25. We’ll post more information about that as we get it.
