Champions 12u Lighting Bolts

🏆 CHAMPIONS! 🥎
The 12U Goleta Lightning Bolts brought home 1st place at the Amanda Tree USA Softball Tournament this past weekend, an event made even more meaningful with a holiday toy drive supporting kids in need. 🎁

The Bolts dominated from start to finish:
🔥 5–0 on the weekend
🔥 Outscored opponents 45–9
🔥 Outhit opponents 47–19

Every player delivered clutch moments — big hits, stellar defense, and outstanding pitching.

And with this tournament win, the ⚡️Lightning Bolts⚡️ improve to an impressive 15–6–3 since forming this fall.

“This group played amazing softball all weekend. Their confidence in themselves and their teammates was on full display, as was their joy of competing and playing softball. They hit all weekend, dominated from the circle, and played stellar defense. They played their best softball in the biggest tournament of the fall season. Every girl made an amazing defensive play or had a clutch hit — most did both,”
praised Head Coach Nick Henderson

A championship weekend, tremendous teamwork, and giving back to the community — the perfect combination.

Go Bolts! ⚡️🥎🎁
