Wellington & Auckland Dominate Emerging Sox Squad

The Softball New Zealand Emerging Sox teams are the stepping stone for many players, coaches and support staff into the Junior Sox programme. These teams have traditionally been assembled on a biennial basis for both the boys and girls and contest the Friendship Games held in Sydney, Australia each July.

The Emerging Sox teams are selected following the SNZ Age group tournaments held in January and are made up of players from throughout New Zealand. They have been very competitive historically and have provided a solid introduction to the rigours of international travel and competition to our talented teenage players.

Head Coach of the New Zealand Emerging Sox Boys Team Kurtis Tomkins has named a 15 man squad to compete in the Friendship Games this June-July in Sydney Australia.
