Junior Representative News

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to the USA to play softball in June 2008. I travelled as part of a group of 13 girls, 3 from Waverley and 10 from South Australia. Our first tournament was the June Bug Tournament in Colorado. We then went up to Steamboat Springs where we participated in the Triple Crown Training Camp and played in the Mountain Majic Tournament. We did reasonably well here considering the standard we were up against. We went to Denver to play in the Colorado State Championships before heading to Los Angeles, California. Here we played in the Red, White and Blue Tournament, but the standard was just too good. In between tournaments, we had the chance to play some ‘friendly’ matches, which gave us the opportunity to socialize with some of the American girls. We finished the trip with free time to go sightseeing. Overall it was a great experience and we all had heaps of fun.
