HUNTER ACADEMY OF SPORT WELCOME

Welcome to the Hunter

On behalf of the Hunter Academy of Sport we all athletes, coaches and their families to The Australian Invitational Youth Games. A multi-sport tournament held at six different venues across the Hunter region. In total almost 1000 elite junior athletes will compete against the nation’s top junior sportspeople and gain valuable experience against quality opposition. Included in the quality of athlete on offer this week, it’s worth noting that all eleven NSW regional academies of sport are travelling to the Hunter for The Games and it is with great pleasure that we welcome our regional academy family.

Whilst hosted by Hunter Academy of Sport, this event would not be possible without the financial support of nib and Greater Bank and the sport management expertise of local sport associations and This is a sports carnival where higher level squads and teams can get meaningful competition against quality opposition. Sometimes a rep squad can be chosen and may actually only play together once. This gives the squads and individuals more game time at the higher level. From a pure development point of view, it is fantastic to give these athletes quality competition against strong opposition.

The Youth Games, includes competition in Motocross, Swimming, the Greater Bank Netball Tournament, Softball & Golf

Next year the Invitational Youth Games looks to expand to ten sports across the winter school holiday period.

Economic Benefit to Hunter We estimate the week-long competition will inject around $500,000 into the Hunter tourism and hospitality sector.

Close to 900 coaches and athletes were being accommodated in Lake Macquarie and Maitland hotels and motels over seven days. We expect many family and friends to also stay in the Hunter and experience all we have to offer.

On behalf of Newcastle & District Softball Association it is my pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and spectators to the 2017 Australian Invitational Youth Games (AIYG).

Formally known as the NIB Festival of Sport, which softball had been a part of since its inception in the 1990’s this will be the second year that AIYG has run.

This year we see two divisions taking part to form the Australian Invitational Youth Games:U18 Academy Team Challenge: 4 male teams, 5 female teams. U15 Hunter Cup: 4 male teams, 7 female teams.

These teams competing are representing Associations from: Canberra, Central Coast, Cumberland Nepean, Georges River, Manly, Newcastle, North Shore, Orange and Penrith.

To every player and official, congratulations on your selection to represent your Association. I hope that you play each game in the spirit of fairness and sportsmanship, that you make new friends, and enjoy the experience that only few players have the opportunity to do. It is expected that the standard of softball will be high, but no higher than the standard of enjoyment each of you will take away at the end of these games.

It would be impossible to run the AIYG without the commitment, skill and experience of the dedicated umpires, coaches, statisticians and team managers. Thank you for your participation, hard work and support.

To all the parents, thank you for the support you have given your child as a player in the sport.Thank you to all the volunteers behind the scenes who are responsible for making this event come together. Without your help, this event would not run smoothly.

Special thank you to Christine Halpin who keeps the passion of softball alive with all her hard work behind the scenes and who has also been the driving force behind this weekend and its success. Your tireless effort is simply amazing.

I wish good luck to all teams competing. Just play, have fun and enjoy the games.
