Welcome to the ELV Softball League
It's with great sadness that the ELV has learned of the sudden loss of Christian Carita. Christian was the current softball commissioner for Forks Township and also served on the ELV board as a statistician for the majors level. He coached multiple teams for Forks Township over the past few years.
For those who knew Christian or coached against him, he was a kind and caring individual who was always willing to lend a helping hand. Coaching was his passion, and he recently coached his daughter's team to the Minors championship this spring. He leaves behind his wife and 3 young daughters. For anyone interested, here is a link to a GoFundMe:
