Placentia Yorba Linda Girls Softball Association Seeks Players, Sponsors

PLACENTIA, Calif. - Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- The Placentia Yorba Linda Girls Softball Association (PYLGSA), as part of a recruitment and sponsorship drive, has again noted the reasons why membership in the fast pitch softball league can be a very positive influence during a girl’s formative years.

Michelle Hughes, whose daughter Payton has taken part in the PYLGSA for two years, was recently named PYLGSA Publicity Director. Hughes, having witnessed first hand the advantages of league membership, notes, “I cannot overstate the benefits that the girls derive via league participation during their formative years of five to sixteen.  Yes, the girls learn to play softball, but they also learn sportsmanship and how to function as a supportive member of a team . . . that the team is truly ‘greater than the sum of its parts.’  They also develop friendships that will last a lifetime.”

Hughes points to PYLGSA alum Stephanie Baldwin, who was crowned Miss California in 2001.  “The Miss California title is not only awarded for beauty and talent, but the pageant judges also look for poise and fellowship,” says Hughes.  “And these are the very qualities instilled by league membership.”
