Intermediate All Stars Wins 2019 District 9 Tournament
The Bellevue Thunderbird Intermediates All Star team won the District 9 All Star tournament, which took place from Saturday June 15 through Friday June 21. The team remained undefeated in the 5-team tournament, playing 3 games over the 6 days to capture the District 9 championship. The team performed like a well-oiled machine through the tournament, scoring a cumulative 64 runs against their 3 opponents. The other teams played well, but just couldn't stop these boys. The team is now awarded the honor of travelling to the Washington State tournament, to be held in Vancouver, Washington beginning on Saturday, June 29.
Great job boys, and great job coaches, and GOOD LUCK at the state tournament!
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 2019 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:
- Contribute to BTLL
- Act as role models on and off the field
- Are enrolled in school and in good academic standing
- 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.
