The 2022/23 Softball NZ Annual Awards was once again an opportunity to gather and celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions within our world of softball.

Softball NZ was proud to present the Annual Awards, honouring the exceptional players, coaches, officials, and volunteers who have left an indelible mark on the sport over the past year. The night was an opportunity to reflect on the incredible moments, inspiring stories, and remarkable accomplishments of the recipients.

Hosted by the charismatic duo of Dale Eager and Lyn Lockhart, the scene was set for an unforgettable celebration.

Throughout the course of the evening, Dale and Lyn took us on a journey of 27 awards ensuring that every recipient felt truly appreciated and deserving of their accolades.
