BVI’s Women’s National Softball Club departed the territory to compete in the USVI’s Women’s Fast Pitch Tournament in St. Croix, USVI, June 17th – 19th, 2022, at the DC Canagetta Ballpark.
The tournament will honour the late Terrence “Chino” Chinnery, and the BVI’s Women’s National Club is excited to compete, as all of the players were coached and mentored by Mr Chinnery throughout their softball life.
The team is coached and managed by VISBA’s President, Mr Rhodni Skelton, and he looks forward to seeing the team face adversity and play together as a unit.
He expressed, “he believes that the team will rally together to keep each other’s spirits up, even when the game may not be going as they would like. This team is about unity in spirit and not egos or selfishness”.
The team has a good mix of veteran players, highly skilled players, younger players and passionate players. He ecstatically shared, “the energy is amazing!”
Apart from the delegation is Mr Glenford “Chappy” Maduro, Vice President of VISBA, who will be assisting with umpiring some of the games at the tournament. Young coaches helping the team will be Giansy Rabsatt and Fernando Cedano.
In closing, Mr Skelton shared, “we will all learn from our mistakes together and grow together, as a TEAM, and we will do so while giving our best to represent the BVI!”.
