The Coronado Youth Softball 10U All Star girls softball team formed in early May after tryouts and they have been practicing as a team since then and playing almost every weekend for the past few weeks. Over Memorial Day weekend they won the Cool Breeze Tournament and this past weekend the girls beat both Navajo and Santee to qualify for the 2021 Southern California C State Championship. This is the first time in over a decade that a 10U CYS All Star team has qualified.

The team will travel to Lancaster over the 4th of July weekend to play. The players do have mixed emotions about qualifying for the tournament and missing Coronado’s 4th of July celebrations, but are looking forward to the experience.

Early on, the team didn’t know if the season would really happen due to Covid so the CYS Association didn’t reach out for sponsors. If you are a local business that would like to sponsor and support the team, please contact Jessica Settle Cunningham at 619-985-4791.

Additionally the team will be having a bake sale this Sunday, June 27, during concert in the park at Spreckels Park.

Go Nado!
