Mermaid Softball 50th Opening Day Celebration & Alumni Reunion - A celebration of Sportsmanship, Community and Unity
Sports are not just about winning or losing, but they bring together a community of people who share common goals, passions, and experiences. One such example is the Mermaid Softball League, which will celebrate its 50th Opening Day Celebration and Alumni Reunion on June 12th, 2021.
The Mermaid Softball League was established in 1971 with a goal to build a community of female athletes who could come together to enjoy the sport of softball. Over the years, the league has grown from a small group of women to a major league with over 300 members annually. The league is held at the Marine Park in Brooklyn, New York, and is open to women of all ages and skill levels.
To mark their golden jubilee, the Mermaid Softball League has planned an exciting day filled with fun, games, food, and entertainment. The event is scheduled to start at 10am, and former players, coaches, and umpires have been invited to reunite with old friends and share their stories about the league's early days and how it has evolved over the last five decades.
The day will feature a full slate of softball games played by the current Mermaid Softball teams. There will also be exhibition games featuring alumni, as well as contests and activities for fans of all ages. From hotdog eating contests to bounce houses, there'll be something for everyone!
Food vendors will offer an array of delicious treats that visitors can purchase while watching the games or socializing. The Mermaid Café, which has served the league since its inception, will stock up on snacks and drinks, including the famous "Mermaid Blue" slushie, a soft drink created especially for the league.
As the day progresses, the entertainment turns up a notch with live music, karaoke, and a DJ spinning all the hits from the last five decades. The day will end with a spectacular fireworks display, bringing this grand celebration to a close.
The Mermaid Softball League's success is more than just about winning games - it is also about building a community of strong, independent women who come together to support each other in achieving their goals on and off the field. This league has produced several outstanding players, who have gone on to become coaches, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
The 50th Opening Day Celebration and Alumni Reunion is a testament to this great league's legacy and the unbreakable bonds that softball can create between people. It'll be a day to remember for all those who have played even a small part in the Mermaid Softball family. We wish them a happy anniversary and hope that the next 50 years are equally rewarding!
