American Students Interested in Playing in New Zealand
Hello,
My daughter, a D1 college softball catcher at the University of Tennessee at Martin (UTM) is interested in playing softball in New Zealand. She played the highest level in travel ball and helped her team win many tournaments. She is now in her Senior year of college and working on a teaching degree and becoming a softball coach.

Her friend (a pitcher) also attends UTM and is very interested in playing and coaching in New Zealand too. She throws in the high 60 to low 70s and has several pitches. Another teammate, shortstop/3rd base is also looking to play.

All three girls would be an asset to any team. The girls would love the opportunity to visit and meet other players, which will in turn enrich their lives and grow while doing something they love.

If you are looking for players that bring a lot of heart and love of the game and can help your team with skills and game knowledge please feel free to contact us.

The three girls will be available from next June.

Thank you

Shannon Daubemann is very interested in playing softball in New Zealand.

June 2010


Hi, my name is Shannon Daubermann, I am 19 years old and I am very interested in playing softball in New Zealand. I wish to come to New Zealand and play softball in either Wellington or Auckland however prepared to look at any city. I require both accommodation and employment.

I have made the U/17 Gauteng Schools Team twice. In 2008-2009 I made the schools All Star Team and came 2nd in the batting. I have also made the U/19 Gauteng Schools Team and made the shortlist for the U/19 National side. I currently play league sofball for Giants Ladies. I have made the local provincial side- Central Gauteng for the past 4 years.

I have also recently been selected as a utility player for the SA Ladies National side that will be attending the Ladies 2010 World Series in Venezuela.

My preferred position is outfield but I can play 3rd base as well.

Softball is my life, my passion and it's what I do best.

Kind Regards,

Shannon Daubermann

Lisa Hill and I really want to play and/or coach softball in New Zealand
Greetings! My name is Lisa Hill and I really want to play and/or coach softball in New Zealand for the 2010/11 season. :)
I played 3 years at Oregon State University in which we made it to the College World Series and won a PAC-10 championship. I played my last year of eligibility this past year while working on a master's degree in Sport Administration at Seattle University.
While at Seattle U my .500 on base percentage helped me earn an all-independent league selection and our team won the independent championship.

This past summer I played softball in Sweden where I was the Swedish League Batting Champion (lead in Hr's, Average, on base%, etc.). I am played 3rd base here in Sweden and could probably play 1st, 3rd, or OF for you. I am also working on pitching and hope to be able to throw Batting Practice by this summer. I'm primarily known for my hitting, but can play defense as well if needed.

My coaching experience includes an 18u gold US girl’s team, Private Lessons, The Swedish Jr. National team, A week in Holland assisting Robur ’58 youth, My Swedish team and Swedish youth, and currently I am the assistant coach at Shoreline Community College. I’ve also worked camps at Oregon State, Seattle U, And for Mark Anderton and Mike White.

My international playing experience includes my trips to Sweden and Holland, and competing against the national teams from USA, Australia, China, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico at the Canada Cup Tournament- I highly recommend that program for any of your teams interested in international competition.
I figure the softball world is small enough that I would take a shot at us having a familiar friend. :)

Lisa

Russian coach looking for an opportunity to observe coaching practice in NZ
September 2010

My name is Mikhail Iluhin from Russia.

Now I am working as a softball coach at Olympic sport center. Currently, there are only five softball teams in Russia. My aim is to reach professional advancement in that field. It would be very interesting to me to learn the system of training of athletes in New Zealand. I am sure it would be invaluable experience for me. I would like to visit a club to have a look at the training process.

It would be nice for me to stay with a family because I will get a good language practice as well.

I wish to arrive at the period before competition, for me more important to see a training process from inside. I will really appreciate your help.

Best Regards,
Mike Iluhin

(Please respond direct to Mike via email if you have an interest in hosting him for this season)
