(Ottawa, ON) Softball Canada is pleased to announce the list of athletes who have been named to the 2017 Junior Women’s National Team Athlete Pool. The athlete pool was selected by the Women’s National Team coaching staff following three regional identification camps held earlier this summer and scouting at several major tournaments including the U16 Girl’s and U18 Women’s Canadian Championships.
 
All athletes from the pool will attend a selection camp June 5-10, 2017 in Cloverdale, British Columbia.
