“We worked really hard for the last few years and Softball BC has been incredible to us from the very beginning,” he said. “So for them to nominate us for this award in our third year of existence goes to show how much support we have, and how much they appreciate us developing the game in the northwest.”
The awards ceremony will take place in Kamloops on Oct. 20 in conjunction with Softball BC’s annual AGM. Also nominated for the award is Ridge Meadows Minor Softball, Terrace Minor Softball, Langley Fastball Association and North Langley Diamond Sports.
If Prince Rupert wins, they will receive $1,000 to go toward equipment and uniforms. Additionally, the association will receive a free coaching clinic with provincially certified coaches.
