No previous board experience is necessary, just a willingness to contribute, collaborate, and help our organization continue to grow and succeed.

Many Miss Shen players and coaches were fortunate to learn from Jack through his pitching clinics and support of our program. He shared his knowledge, encouraged young athletes, and helped countless players grow both on and off the field.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, and mother figures in our Miss Shen Softball Community!

Thank you for the countless rides to practices and games, the packed snacks and equipment bags, the late-night laundry, the words of encouragement, and the endless support you give our players every single day.

Miss Shen Softball would not be the special community it is without all that you do behind the scenes. Today we celebrate YOU!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Mother’s Day filled with love, laughter, and family.

🌧️ Due to the continued rain and wet field conditions, all Miss Shen Rec games for today have been canceled.

Yesterday, Sunday May 3rd, our Softball community came together for an incredible day of softball and support at our Strike Out Cancer event. 🥎

A huge thank you to all of the teams who participated across every age group and helped make the day such a success. Your support, sportsmanship, and willingness to be part of something bigger than the game is what made this event so special.

We’d also like to extend a very special thank you to our umpires, who generously volunteered their time throughout the day. Your support and dedication helped make this event possible, and we truly appreciate all you do.

Because of the amazing generosity of our teams, families, volunteers, and supporters, we were proud to raise over $4,000 for The Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Med. What an incredible impact from one day at the ballfield.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day meaningful both on and off the field. Be sure to check out some photos from the day.
