Sterling Farber was a coach for his daughter’s softball team in Blue Springs. During the season, Sterling noticed there was a girl in a wheelchair at the fence, paying close attention and cheering her sister’s team on enthusiastically. That picture of Toni, eagerly at the fence, stayed in Sterling’s mind and he felt a burden for those kids who could not play on the field and join in on the fun. Toni would love to play like her sister but she was in a wheelchair, which presented a challenge. Sterling decided that she, along with others should have the opportunity to play softball like anyone else, despite the obstacles or challenges. He decided to start a softball league for kids with special needs and he decided to call it, The Exceptionals. This name reflects the exceptional kids that play softball every Monday night, despite the challenges and obstacles they face every day. It is their energy and simple joy that make them exceptional! https://www.exceptionalssoftball.com/faq daily 0.75 2024-07-24 https://www.exceptionalssoftball.com/volunteer daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aeb148e85ede1e059ee8619/1550612200531-18PKLRQHOQNH49Z1AUVY/33035985_1969949573049132_5847138145715355648_n.jpg Volunteer - Two Ways You Can Help! Volunteer as a buddy What do buddies do? Buddies are helpers who play side by side with a player. Buddies stick with their player and help them field the ball, run around the bases (pushing the wheelchair, if necessary). If the player needs help batting, the buddy can help them hit off the tee. What is the commitment? Just 2 games on a Monday night! Volunteers are required to be there by 6:15 and their help is needed until 8:30. Grab a group of friends or come by yourself. If you want to commit to more weeks, you are more than welcome! It is addictive and you will love being a helper, so you will probably want to come back every week! To volunteer fill out the form below. Donate What are the donations used for? T-shirts, trophies, pictures and an end of the year picnic! We want this league to remain FREE to the player and their families. Your donation could make that possible.
