The Under 18 team features many players who will be representing Australia for the first time, and Softball Australia National Pathway Coordinator Brooke Wilkins said, “This is an exciting time for the players selected for our Under 18 Team. Not only do they get to represent Australia at the international level, but they have the opportunity to learn from our senior players on the tour.
“I have no doubt it has been a whirlwind for many of these players off the back of Nationals, but the class shown by these athletes suggests they are ready for what lies ahead at the Canada Cup.”
Softball Australia will announce the Aussie Spirit team and Spirit Development team, and the World Games Tour Information in the coming weeks.
