American Softball 15th Opening Day Recap

Saturday, April 4th was a truly unforgettable milestone as we celebrated the 15th Opening Day of American Softball. This season is especially meaningful, with every single player receiving a scholarship, ensuring that all of our athletes with Autism and Developmental Disabilities can enjoy the game they love without barriers.
We were also treated to a very special surprise guest. The New York Mets Mascot joined us on the field, and the excitement was off the charts. He took pictures with every player, shared high-fives, and brought smiles that lit up the entire ballpark. The joy on our players’ faces said it all.
It was a beautiful day of community, inclusion, pure happiness and everything American Softball stands for.

Coach Randy and Coach Rachel of American Softball, a specialized softball league catering to individuals with autism and developmental disabilities actively participated in the Save The Date Family Resource Fair held at Francis Lewis High School, an event designed to provide support for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The fair boasted an extensive lineup of over 60 vendors and drew attendance from several hundred families. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document that outlines the unique educational needs, goals, and support services required for students with disabilities to achieve academic success.

American Softball was honored to take part in the 39th Halloween parade, sponsored by the Kiwanis of Howard Beach. A special thank you is owed to Coach Tina Roseman, Coach Joanna Marie DiRosa, Coach Michelle Bradford and Coach Thomas Fochetta for their contributions to the parade's success.

American Softball kicked off with a fantastic opening day. We made the front cover of the Queens Chronicle.
