Softball equipment drive
A “players closet” is available to girls softball players in Lansing. The closet accepts gently used items that can be passed on to other players. The items must be washed, and be in good condition without holes or rips.
The closet will be open at each registration session to accept donations and allow registered players to “shop.” There is a limit of two items per player. Items accepted are: bats, gloves, pants, socks, undershirts, cleats, face masks, helmets, and bags.
Appointments can be made to drop off or pick up items prior to or after the in person registration dates by texting Paulla at 815-263-5450.
