A former Coral Springs softball player is bringing a new girls’ team to South Florida.

Kayla Boyle spent 16 years playing softball, including helping lead the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School varsity team to their first-ever state finals and competing nationally with the Florida Power Black ‘97 team.

Before her return to Coral Springs, Boyle, 24, was a volunteer assistant softball coach at the University of South Carolina Beaufort.

Now, she has decided to form her own Florida Power Black ‘09 team to grow and share her knowledge of the sport.

“I’m trying to build a younger team so they can continue to grow within the organization,” said Boyle, “Anyone who wants to try something new – no experience necessary.”

Any eligible 12-year-old player born in 2009 or 2010 is welcome to attend scheduled workouts on Tuesday, July 27 and Thursday, July 29, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and tryouts on Saturday, July 31, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at North Broward Preparatory School, at 7600 Lyons Road in Coconut Creek.

Boyle is looking for motivated, talented, coachable players who love the game.

Parents with any questions should contact Kayla at Kaylaboyle97@gmail.com or 954-775-7777.
