CCSA Junior Person of the Year – Sophie Walbancke

Published Sat 16 Mar 2024

The CCSA Junior Person of the year recognises contributions to CCSA over and above their peers.

Sophie is a passionate committed softballer who has a tenacity for the game rarely seen in our juniors. She competed in both the Modball and Junior softball competitions this year, showing skills well in advance of her age group. As her confidence grew over the year, she was a regular fill in for the Open Women’s team.  She competently fulfilled her umpiring duties, often doing more than her share.  Sophie was a dual representative for CCSA competing at both the U12s and U14s State Championship.  She was rewarded with an invitation to the NSW Static Camp for her age group, skills that she brought back and shared with her teammates. Sophie’s dedication to softball and CCSA is an excellent example of a player who is willing to not only accept the opportunities CCSA afford her, but to share those experiences, which then contributes to the growth of CCSA.
