Yesterday, Gulf Coast Heat Fastpitch were honored to volunteer with Save Crystal River as ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ for roadside clean-up. Even though it may be our players' first week of summer break, they showed up early to put in 2 hours of work in Florida's hot !!! โ๏ธ
Although we were missing over half the gang due to summer camps and other things, the players who could make it worked as a team collecting litter while learning about the affects of plastics on our environment, how long plastics take to break down once they reach our waterways, and about efforts being made by programs like the Save Crystal River organization who have tackled the massive undertaking of cleaning and revitalizing our local springs and waterways.
After we finished, our crew headed to Hunter Springs Park to relax and cool off a bit. ๐
The entire project was the perfect way to perform our team's final community service act of the Spring 2026 season! We are so proud that Gulf Coast Heat is about more than "just" softball. We're about teamwork and teaching our players to stay active -- not just on the fields, but in their community as well.
Thank you, Save Crystal River, for giving our players the oppprtunity to learn and grow with you! ๐ฉต..............................................................
