Bluff Park Women’s Wiffleball and Kickball announce the formation of Bluff Park Women’s Rec League
Hoover, AL - Bluff Park Women’s Wiffleball League is celebrating its fifth season along with a successful inaugural season of Kickball by forming an LLC, has applied for 501c3 status and is now known as Bluff Park Women’s Rec League (BPWRL).
“The spirit of Bluff Park has always been special but the women of these community leagues have truly brought to light its magic! It is only natural to broaden our scope and form Bluff Park Women’s Rec League to make an even bigger impact on our community,” Sherrie Roberts, founder of the wiffleball league and Executive Director of BPWRL, said.
The purpose of Bluff Park Women's Rec League is to provide the women of Bluff Park a recreational sports league that is inclusive and empowering; provide opportunities to participate in a variety of sports, develop skills, and encourage a healthy lifestyle. We strive to help build confidence, community and meaningful connections through teamwork, respect, sportsmanship, and philanthropy.
The mission of Bluff Park Women’s Rec League is to build a solid community of women offering support and encouragement to one another and the community through sporting events and beyond. And most importantly, bear witness to the mission by contributing our resources to our Bluff Park community - namely our non-profit partners and underserved girls in need of support to further their future in sports.
