2024 Softball Club Accomplishments

A huge thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers, committee members, and board members who make everything possible. In addition to celebrating these tangible achievements, we should never forget to celebrate the individual accomplishments and firsts of our players – that first hit, the first home run, the first inning pitched, and for some the first practice and the first game. Thank you to all who have made this year a success and may we never lose sight of these personal accomplishments. We are proud of all our players!! Here’s to an amazing 2025. Go Mount Horeb Softball Nation!!

Many great things have occurred this past year for Mount Horeb Softball Club:

  6. Sponsored a catching clinic to teach and advance the skill of the youth.
