Area residents invited to national tryouts
Three Wellington County area natives have been invited to try out for Canada’s national junior softball team.
On Nov. 12 Softball Canada announced the list of 32 athletes who have been named to the 2014 Junior Men’s National Team selection camp roster - including Brendan Hall of Orton and Quinten Bruce and Dylan Taylor of Grand Valley.
The selection camp will take place May 22 to 25 in Brampton, with the final team to compete at the International Softball Federation (ISF) Junior Men’s World Championship from July 11 to 20 in Whitehorse, Yukon.
“I am very pleased with the top 32 selections for the Junior Men’s National Team program” said head coach Jim Jones.
Canada finished fourth at the ISF Junior Men’s World Championship in 2012.
