Last year, shortly after we moved into our new home, my oldest daughter got involved with a girls softball league. It was her first experience with a team sport, but she loved it…so much so that when they offered a camp for the league over the winter break, she signed up for that as well. When I heard about this fastpitch softball cruise with Crystl Bustos, Natasha Watley, and Amanda Freed, I knew it was something she’d love to partake in. Unfortunately, she’s only 11, so she’s too young, but if you’ve got a daughter, a sister, or a young women in your life who is into softball, this trip is worth a look. The cruise leaves from Long Beach, CA on December 21st, and returns on December 23rd. It’s open to female softball players ages 13 through 18 and the girls will participate in clinics and trainings with Olympic stars Crystl Bustos, Natasha Watley, and Amanda Freed. (One of the coachs who ran my daughter’s winter clinic was also a former Olympic star!)

The trip was put together by SoftballCruise.com and YourCitySports.com and besides a great trip on the water, the girls will have on-field instruction on Catalina Island during the cruise. It’s really a wonderful opportunity for girls to bond and learn more about a sport they love!

Fastpitch Softball Cruise with Crystl Bustos, Natasha Watley, and Amanda Freed

October 23, 2007 – Long Beach, California – On December 21st and 22nd girls ages 13 through 18 will have the opportunity to embark on a land and sea cruise expedition with some of the world’s greatest Fastpitch Softball Olympic stars. YourCitySports.com, a provider of services within the Softball industry, together with Crystl Bustos, Natasha Watley, and Amanda Freed are offering this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For detailed information on the cruise please visit the website at http://www.softballcruise.com.

The two-day, two-night event starts off with a Bon Voyage party where all the parents and guests are invited to mingle with the stars and crew. The boat sets sail on Saturday morning and makes way towards Catalina Island while the guests have breakfast followed by an exercise session on the top deck. The cruise arrives at Descono Bay where the real training begins. The star athletes will focus on subjects such as conditioning, agility, pitching, batting, and fielding.

Back on the ship is where most of the incredible lifetime memories will be created. For dinner, the athletes will compete in a cooking competition judged by the guests. After eating, the guests and athletes will unite their vocal cords to create a Rock Video with the stars and DJ. In the evening the guests will have the chance to reflect on their day and socialize with friends. Sunday morning the fun continues when everyone disembarks for a beach picnic and Volleyball game.

On the way home, guests will be able to obtain up to two autographs and personal photos from each star. Since there will be a photographer most of the time, photos and other great memorabilia will be available for sale at the end of the trip, although each ticket does include one professional 8½” x 11″ photograph. Upon arrival, parents are once again invited to board the ship for a Farewell Award Ceremony.
