NK RECREATION SOFTBALL LEAGUE FALL SEASON COMES TO AN END

The NK Recreation Softball season came to an end tonight with a clash of the AA teams in an action-packed game!

It is always rewarding to hear the girls chanting for one another while making big plays on the field. It is even more rewarding to see our coaches working side-by-side with these players providing encouragement and teaching the fundamentals of the game.

The North Kingstown Recreation Department extends its heartfelt appreciation to our coaches and volunteers who help to enhance our program by providing a positive experience to the girls in our community. Hats off to our umpiring staff and maintenance crews who work daily to make these games and practices possible in a safe environment!

We hope the players had a fantastic season and are looking forward to future events leading up to the 2027 Spring season!
