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.)

A top mission of the Windmills organization is preparing players for college softball. Here's another great step in that direction!

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!

SNOWBALL 2020!

SNOWBALL 2020

We are grateful to all the Windmill families for supporting the organization at the Snowball Banquet. All money raised will go to college exposure, team assistance and the new Holly Scott Scholarship for players in need.
