New Canaan Youth Softball Wraps Up Successful Fall Season

 

Softball in New Canaan has been on an upswing in recent years with the sport seeing unprecedented success at all levels, from Kindergarten through the high school and beyond. Last week Molly and Rachel Keshin became the first softball players in NCHS history to sign a National Letter of Intent to play the sport at a Division-1 school. Chances are, the Keshins won’t be the last New Canaan softball players to sign NLI’s as nowhere is the spike in softball’s popularity more evident than in the burgeoning youth program. New Canaan Softball saw a 60% increase in participation this past spring season which carried over to the fall season with a 78% increase from grades K-8. The league’s success was not relegated to numbers alone, as several age groups took league titles.
