Our Philosophy

The Wisconsin Heights Youth Softball Program is a community-based league, committed to providing all girls with the fundamental skills of softball in a fun, supportive and inspiring environment. It is our goal that each player walks away with an appreciation and understanding of the game, and a love for it that will continue on as they grow older. 

We would like all girls that are interested in playing softball to have the opportunity to play.  If your daughter is interested in playing but you feel this will be a financial burden for your family, please email our board at whyouthsoftball@gmail.com to get information on free scholarships that are available.

The Mental Side of the Game with Paula Witt | 4th-8th Grades

Simone Biles Quote: I have to do what's right for me and focus on my mental health, and not jeopardize my health and well-being.

Overview:
This is a one-hour presentation on the mental side of the game. We will talk through challenges of being an athlete and how to create personal and team wellness. We will cover the following:

  • Purpose of emotions and using them rather than being engulfed in them.
  • Mindset - what is running through my mind?
  • Awareness of thoughts and feelings, and how they impact individuals and teams.
  • Growth mindset / Maintaining Core-Self.

About the Speaker:
