Roselle Softball Clinic for Girls, Ages 8–12, Starting September 29
Sylvester Land Field (Borough Parks & Fields) · 711-799 Harrison Ave, Roselle, NJ 07203
Starting Monday, September 29, Roselle opens its second softball clinic to young athletes ages 8 to 12. The program runs through the end of October at Sylvester Land Field under Coach Jessica Cunningham, a Roselle resident who grew up playing softball in town. Cunningham has a passion for the sport and is volunteering to give back to the community by teaching the fundamentals and sharing everything she learned as a young athlete and more.
The clinic is designed to prepare girls for the Spring softball league, where they will compete against neighboring towns. Recreation Director D'Nean Wynn said affordability was built into the program from the start. She heard from parents that they were bringing their children to other towns for sports activities, and she saw an opportunity to bring programs to Roselle instead. The $40 cost reflects that commitment to access. Athletes who complete the clinic receive a discount on Spring league registration, making year-round participation more affordable.
Wynn encourages families to sign up regardless of experience level. "I encourage residents and parents to sign their children up even if they don't have any experience. That's what we're here for." The program reflects Roselle's belief that every child deserves access to sports and the chance to learn, grow, and connect with teammates in their own community.
