Randy and Tina are doing an inspiring thing . This league meets every Saturday to allow those with developmental disabilities and autism be able to play a game of softball . There are not many things out there for these individuals to do this organization gives them an opportunity to get out and gives them something to look forward too . I had the opportunity to intern with this organization and will continue to volunteer with this organization. Each Saturday the individuals faces lit up when they saw each other and when they saw Randy and Tina. It’s truly inspirational to see what they do for others and they should be recognized for what they do . It has a impact on the individuals and New York as a whole .
American Softball is an awe inspiring organization that gives those with disabilities an opportunity to compete, interact with others and most importantly, have fun! Being both a spectator and having volunteered with this organization, I have seen the joy and happiness that exudes from these players faces when they get the chance to go up to bat or run to catch a ball out on the field. It is truly something special and deserves to be recognized for the positive impact it has on these people's lives as well as the greater community of New York
We are a softball league for people with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Our unique league for people with special needs, never dreamed they could be part of a team or for that matter play softball, but they are doing it!! While some may think their challenges inhibit them, we prove they can play the game of softball. Everyone gets a chance to hit the ball, run the bases and play the field with the help of our extraordinary team of volunteers. Most importantly, they are developing social skills, strengthening their arms & legs by hitting the ball, running and gaining hand/eye coordination and being a part of a team. Everyone is equal. No competitiveness. No teasing. They can just be themselves!
It is truly a "special" league , one that makes your heart warm.
This team is unbelievable, American Softball is a rare and unique experience for the participants, Randy and Tina make a true difference in their lives. When the players see Randy and Tina come on the field for the day, Their eyes light up and the smiles are ear to ear........The joy and love felt is AMAZING. You can see this day makes life much much better for all involved.
American Softball nonprofit does it all..........ALL THE TIME!!!
God Bless
