About the Softball Australia National Youth Council
The Softball Australia (SA) National Youth Council (NYC) has been established to enhance the link between the leadership of SA as the governing body of softball in Australia, and the next generation of softball participants. It aims to provide a sounding board for the youth perspective of how softball can continue to grow from strength to strength.
As part of the NYC, members will act as ambassadors for the game, working alongside SA staff on several projects and working groups. Goals of the NYC include increasing the number of young people involved in softball, as well as providing support and insights from a youth perspective to SA working groups.
