HGSL Annual Board Meeting

Our October, 2019 HGSL Board Meeting will be on October 22^nd at 6:30 pm in the Lilac Bridge Room at the Hooksett Library.  This is our annual meeting where elections are done for those board positions that expire on odd years so all board members are asked to attend and any other members of the HGSL are also welcome.  If you have given thought to becoming more involved, please consider attending.

HGSL Softball Clinics Are Continuing 

Pitching and Catching is going great on Tuesdays inside the town hall gym!  We are full on the pitching, but we still have spots for catching if anyone is interested.  Remember…it is half price for catching!  Thanks to Coaches Tim Bill and Lee Makris for once again doing a great job for the HGSL!

Keep an eye out for more HGSL  training and clinic opportunities!

Cap Area Fall Ball

The Capital Area Fall Ball program is wrapping up.  The girls have had some cold morning games, but we hope they had a lot of fun.  Fall Ball is designed to help the girls get ready for the age level of softball that they will play in next season and can be very beneficial.  Thanks to all the HGSL coaches who stepped up to coach Fall Ball!

FREE Monday Softball Clinics for Majors/Seniors Players

     We have had great feedback on our Monday Majors/Seniors softball clinics with Coach Rivera.  The girls had some fun and got some good practice in.  Thank you to our own Coach Keith McHugh for helping out!    Since outdoor Monday clinics on lower Donati have been so well received, we are adding an additional week!  The remaining four clinics will be at 5:30-7:00 pm on Mondays September 16^th, 23^rd, 30^th and now October 7^th.  If you already e-mailed us, you are all set for your daughter to continue on with the clinics.  If you have not already reached out to us and want your daughter to take advantage of this awesome opportunity for FREE softball clinics, just email us at hooksettsoftball@gmail.com. 

Pitching and Catching Lessons Starting on Tuesday September 17^th @ the Town Hall Gym

 Pitching and Catching lessons are starting on Tuesday September 17^th at 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm respectively and running for 8 weeks.  Our pitching clinic with Coach Tim Bill is all booked up, but we still have space in our catching clinic with Coach Lee Makris. Remember, we are running a ½ price deal on the catching clinic ($75 for players born 2003-2008 and $60 for players born in 2009-2010).  Email us at hooksettsoftball@gmail.com to let us know if you are interested. 

Check Out the Donati Softball Fencing Project!

The new fencing and netting is up on the upper field!  If you are in the area, please feel free to stop by and check it out.  We have new higher fencing with netting along the 1^st base line to coral many of the foul balls that were previously going onto the football field.  There is also a double pitching cage that was built, which will also have netting along with home plates and pitching mounds.  Look forward to the pitching cage being up and running for the spring 2020 season!  This project was funded by Hooksett Girls Softball with help from the Hooksett Youth Athletic Association and the donations of different softball organizations that use the softball fields at Donati.  This is everyone working together to provide a great upgrade for Donati Field!   Big Thanks to HGSL Board Member/Former President Michael St. Germain for all the time and effort he put into  this project!  We are planning on more improvements down the road with the goal of providing a premier softball facility for our players and families.
