Oak Park Windmills

Competitive girls fastpitch softball organization based in Oak Park, IL, founded in 1989. The Windmills field teams from 8U through 18U with a focus on player development and collegiate preparation — over 100 alumni have gone on to play NCAA collegiate softball.

“Windmills seemed strong but at its older ages it is dying off. Older teams are folding. The indoor facility is helpful but limited. Would not recommend for an athlete looking for recruiting due to an inability to keep older teams around. ”

“Amazing community of dedicated families and coaches focused on player development and preparing athletes to play in high school and college. Windmills has a dedicated indoor facility and is one of the few softball only, non-profit organizations in Illinois that has been around for nearly 40 years. They field quality teams that beat many of the franchise, for-profit teams in the area. ”
