Salem University Softball Program Serving as Mentors for Youngsters in Bridgeport Girls Softball Association

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on March 11, 2025

The Salem University Softball program has been helping to shape the future of the Bridgeport Girls Softball Association (BGSA) by efforts on the volunteer front recently.
 
Over the winter offseason, the Bridgeport Girls Softball Association (BGSA) has been able to witness this spirit of giving in action as Salem University’s softball team has dedicated countless hours to training the next generation of players BGSA.
 
Salem University’s players and coaches have volunteered their time to help train 40 local 8U-16U athletes in all aspects of the game from hitting, fielding, pitching and catching to overall skill development. It has been hands-on training along with individualized coaching,
 
Salem is a key contributor to BGSA’s Winter Training Program that takes place once a week for two hours during the cold-weather months. Winter training is crucial for player development, especially in areas like West Virginia with harsh winter weather, as it provides a consistent opportunity to refine skills, and maintain conditioning, through indoor workouts.
Those involved with the program stated that the benefits go beyond softball. They pointed to seeing the benefits of experienced athletes benefiting from dedication, teamwork, and leadership look like and the value of hard work.
 
Individuals wishing to support the Salem University softball team do not have to travel far to do so.
 
The team plays at The Bridge Sports and Recreation Complex. You can find the schedule of games for Salem HERE.
 
The first home game is Saturday, March 15 at 1 p.m. against West Liberty.
