Senate Resolution No. 699 commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Sneaky Cleats Select Softball Club, which was founded in 2000 in Tyler, Texas, by Anthony and Gayla Springer. Originally established as a six-and-under girls' T-ball team, the club transitioned to fast-pitch softball and now includes teams across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The organization is recognized for its commitment to fostering young female athletes' skills in a supportive environment while promoting values such as integrity, confidence, and sportsmanship.
In addition to its athletic focus, Sneaky Cleats is dedicated to community service, organizing events like an annual picnic for players and alumni, Thanksgiving turkey dinner giveaways, and donations of stuffed animals and winter jackets to local youth in need. The resolution expresses the Texas Senate's appreciation for the club's positive impact on the lives of young athletes and extends best wishes for its continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas Senate.
