It was a successful season for Bellevue Thunderbird in 2017, as the 8-10 year old Softball All Stars won the District 9 All Star tournament, and kept on winning until they reached the semi-finals in the State tournament! Great job girls, we can't wait to see what you'll do in 2018!

Juniors Baseball All Stars Win 2017 District 9 Tournament

Congratulations to the Juniors Baseball All Star team, who won the District 9 All Star Tournament last weekend. The team is comprised of 14-year olds from Bellevue Thunderbird and Bellevue West Little Leagues, and coached by Thom Robb, Steve Grouws and Greg Allen. The majority of the team were members of the Intermediate Division team last year who also won the District 9 tournament and went to the State tournament.

Next step for these boys is the 2017 Juniors State Tournament, which happens to be taking place right in our own backyard, Shoreline. First game is Saturday, July 15 against North Whidbey Little League from District 11. The game is at 4:00pm at Shorewood High School. Come cheer on the team!

Did you know that each year, baseball and softball teams at levels AAA and above are required to provide a team sponsor to donate to our league? Please thank these companies and individuals who have contributed to our cause for the 2017 season by visiting our Team Sponsors page!

BTLL Youth Scholarship Program

Dear Members of the Bellevue Thunderbird Community:

We are pleased to continue the Bellevue Thunderbird Little League Youth Scholarship Program for the 2017 season. This program provides recognition to BTLL youth volunteers 12+ years old who support our softball and baseball programs. At the end of each season, we will award a number of scholarships to deserving individuals who:

1. Contribute to BTLL
2. Act as role models on and off the field
3. Are enrolled in school and in good academic standing
4. Are registered volunteers with BTLL

BTLL's goals are to encourage youth volunteerism and recognize the contribution of our youth to BTLL. The maximum scholarship award available to any eligible individual in a given year is $1,000. Recipients of BTLL Youth Scholarships will also receive a letter of recognition from BTLL and a certificate that can potentially be included in college applications.

We are excited about this program and hope to see strong participation from our youth in various capacities, including help in winter training, supporting opening day, and umpiring.

Sincerely,
