After many years of being dormant, the Port Softball Club entered three teams in the local Southland tee-ball competition. These teams were the tio’s U7 team and two U9 teams, the tītī’s and the taniwha’s.
The committee’s goal was to have a summer sport that people of all ages could enjoy; unite whānau; teach tamariki dedication, sportsmanship and how to be a team player.
Congratulations go to the taniwha’s who won their U9 grade without a loss. Ka mau te wehi. This achievement, along with getting tamariki participating in sport wouldn’t have been possible without the tautoko of the club’s committee, coaches, whānau and the local businesses that backed them.
Next year these teams will be moving up in grades and the club is hopeful that they might be able to enter a mixed adult social team.
Some of the tamariki involved in the Port Softball Clubs under 7 and under 9 tee-ball teams.
The winning team.
