🌟 Help the Santa Cruz Crushers get to the State Cup! 🌟 This past weekend, our local competitive softball organization, the Santa Cruz Crushers, had both of their 12U girls teams place at the 2026 USA Softball NorCal Championships! &nbsp; This is a huge accomplishment! &nbsp; By placing at NorCals, both teams earned a bid to participate in the Tournament of Champions State Cup in San Diego later this month. This tournament will allow our athletes to test their skills against top teams from across California and the western United States.The teams will travel together, build lifelong friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime. The Santa Cruz Crushers is the competitive travel program derived from our local Gals Fastpitch Softball league. &nbsp;The Crushers program was founded in 1993 and is the longest running, non-profit competitive softball program in Santa Cruz County. &nbsp;Our 12U athletes represent middle schools from all of Santa Cruz County, from Monte Vista Christian in Watsonville to Mission Hill on the Westside. To get our players there, we need our community&#39;s help.
