Viper's 2011 Summary:

The Virginia Vipers Softball Club for Veterans had another successful season in 2011.  The Vipers competed in seven leagues, beginning play in March and ending with their annual trip to Las Vegas the weekend before Thanksgiving!

Both spring teams did exceptionally well, taking first place in Reston and third place in Fairfax Adult Softball’s Division 3 in Fairfax, Virginia.  The Masters (over-35) team took second place during the summer season and the Viper’s Summer Division 8 team took first place. 

The fall season began in September and resulted in all three Viper teams finishing first or second with two teams winning their divisions and one second place finish.

Throughout the season, the Virginia Vipers Softball Club for Veterans (VVSC for Veterans) continued to “give back” to organizations supporting our military.  The VVSC for Veterans purchased 100 wreaths for the holiday wreath laying event at Arlington National Cemetery, supported the Lieutenant General Timothy J. Maude Scholarship Fund, and provided a birthday cake and baked goods to two service members supporting combat operations in Afghanistan.  Additionally, the VVSC for Veterans donated three weekend retreats to the Military Benefit Association (MBA), which gave them to military families so they could enjoy Luray, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley.     

Throughout the season, the Vipers had at least 15 veterans participating in their tournaments.   Additionally, each league team is comprised of at least 70% military veterans.
