Parents are making more youth sports decisions than ever before.

Join nationally respected coaches and youth development leaders for an evidence-based conversation on building better athletes, stronger families, and healthier communities.

Anthony Toth, former University of Michigan baseball captain and Big Ten champion, and a board member of The Family Center, has also assembled an outstanding panel of experts for our upcoming program:

⚾ Jake Boss Jr. — Head Baseball Coach, Michigan State University; Big Ten Champion and 450+ career victories
🥎 Bonnie Tholl — Head Softball Coach, University of Michigan; National Champion and more than three decades developing elite female athletes
🏆 Wayne R Welton — Hall of Fame coach, longtime Athletic Director and former University of Michigan Director of Baseball Operations
🏑 Margi Whittingham — Grosse Pointe South Head Field Hockey Coach and Development Director for Great Lakes Regional Field Hockey
🏈 Pat Sharrow — Executive Director of Project Play Southeast Michigan and former University of Michigan football student-athlete
🏃‍♀️ Dr. Samantha Zinnecker — Doctor of Physical Therapy, exercise physiologist and founder of PhysioLab

The panel will discuss long-term athlete development, specialization, physical and mental health, recruiting, the role of parents and coaches, and what the people who have spent their lives developing athletes believe our kids actually need from sports.

This isn’t about telling families there is one “right” path. It’s about bringing together different perspectives, evidence, and decades of experience to help parents, coaches, and our community make better decisions for our kids.

Monday, October 5 | The War Memorial Ballroom
Doors open at 6:30 PM | Program begins at 7:00 PM
The event is FREE, but registration is required.

Team Michigan Fastpitch is excited to announce a new 10U team for the 2027 season, managed by Ken Carver. The team will practice at Ghesquiere and Elworthy fields in Grosse Pointe and play only in local tournaments. The fall schedule will be somewhat light as the girls hone their softball skills and learn how to compete at a higher level. Winter training starts in January at Lakeside Indoor.

This team will be built with girls who fall into the Little League age group who will be 10-years old on January 1, 2027. Advanced 9-year-olds are also welcome.

A tryout is scheduled for next Wednesday, August 12th at Ghesquiere field #2 (20025 Mack Plaza Dr, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236). Warmups start at 6:30 pm and the tryout should last about an hour.

Our 10U Tournament Team ended its post-season run today in a tough one-run game. There was so much to be proud of in their effort and resilience. The umpires commented on how much the team had grown over the past few weeks and said the girls played their best softball today.
