USSSA Night at the Legends |
On Wednesday, July 21 the Legends at Village West will be hosting an outdoor concert for the players, family and friends of the USSSA 12U/14U/16U/18U World Series.
This will be a great opportunity for your players and families to enjoy the camaraderie that a World Series atmosphere creates. With players from different parts of the country, it is a great time and place to share in the experiences that softball offers.
Wednesday games are scheduled to conclude earlier in the day to allow teams to attend this function. We will be having Wonderland (local band playing a variety of music for both the kids and parents) play a live concert at the fountains area inside the Legends at Village West.
