Are you new to Walnut Creek Little League Softball (or still learning how the league works)?

Join us for a New Family Orientation for softball families on Thursday, January 22nd at 6:00

PM in the Parkmead Elementary MPR.

Whether it’s your first season or your daughter is still learning the game, you’re in the right

place. Our goal is a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where players build confidence,

make friends, and grow at their own pace.

What we’ll cover (and why it matters)

This is a parent-friendly, overview designed to reduce stress and answer the questions most new families have:

--What Little League Softball is all about: confidence, friendships, and learning the

game, not pressure or perfection.

--Development over destination: softball is a game; most kids play because it’s fun and

social, and that’s a great outcome.

--Season overview: teams/divisions, schedules, equipment, uniforms, weather/rainouts,

and communication.

--Player development approach: positive reinforcement, age-appropriate instruction, and

rotational opportunities to learn the full game.

--Parent expectations: encourage effort, model positivity, and help create a supportive

environment for every player.

--Safety: training, protocols, and a strong focus on player well-being.

--Volunteer opportunities: easy ways to help, even if you’ve never played softball.

--Open Q&A: no question is too small for new families.

--We also want families to know what matters most: the best message you can give your daughter is “I love watching you play” and celebrate effort, courage, and growth.
