WINDMILLS ALL STARS
An All-Star team featuring Ginevra Kellogg, Anna Topel and Julia Mattiace won the 13U championship at the recent GameDay USA All-Star Tourney in Crown Point. As a result, each player received Golden Tickets to join the 14U prospect team at the New Year’s Softball Fest in Panama City Beach, Florida.
In addition, Ginevra raised the most money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation to help fight childhood cancer, which awarded her the Golden Helmet. She also won first place in Fastest Time from second base to home plate in the 13U skills competition.
Also in the skills competition, Samantha Shelton won the 13U Home Run Derby and Madelynn DiNino was runner-up. Meanwhile, Kaylee Romanski placed second in the 11U Derby.
Way to represent, Windmills!

INTRODUCING OUR NEW COLLEGE EXPOSURE PROGRAM
The Windmills have launched a new College Exposure Program led by experienced coaches Holly Scott and Abby Ramirez of the Chicago Bandits of National Pro Fastpitch. Holly also is an assistant coach at North Central College and Abby is a former assistant coach at Northwestern University.
Holly and Abby bring a wealth of energy, talent, dedication, knowledge, and many college coaching contacts to the effort. (Check out the photos to the right of Windmills players making video reels for college exposure purposes.)

WINDMILLS INDOOR FACILITY
Thanks so much to all the contributors who helped us move forward on the major renovation of our Forest Park indoor facility. The organization spent more than $40,000 on a number of upgrades, including new turf, lighting, netting, paint, and more. The facility overhaul will benefit not only girls now playing in the organization, but future players, as well!
