A Monsoon of fun

The West University Softball Association spring season is underway. Players from the Monsoon adorned in their team colors and festive attire lined up on the streets of West U to walk the annual WUSA opening day parade. Pictured (from left) are Audrey Bischoff, Nora Washington, Isabel Covey, Brooke Kaplan, Amelia Heins, Brooke Lepow, Jacqueline Walters, Elle Naulls, and Ivy McDavid. Onlookers, fans, and family members stood along the route, and cheered on the nearly 99 teams as they marched down the streets of West U. The 2024 season marks a big milestone with its largest enrollment to date at almost 1,000 girls. The registrants are distributed across 99 teams. Teams spared no effort this year in displaying their team spirit in the costume competition. After the parade, the opening ceremonies kicked off followed by the annual WUSA family-friendly carnival where players and families enjoyed games, inflatables, bouncy houses, food, and more fun.
