FOUR PARKLANDS Christchurch<br />
United players are set to travel to the<br />
United States as part of a Junior White Sox<br />
team.<br />
Caitlin Henderson, Kaiyah Ratu and<br />
Trinity Mackley-Flutey (non-travelling<br />
reserve) have been named in the under-18<br />
team, while Maddison Parsons (nontravelling<br />
reserve) has made the under-16<br />
side. Five other Canterbury players<br />
have also been named in the two sides<br />
which are set to travel to the Top Gun<br />
invitational tournament in Kansas City,<br />
Missouri, in June.<br />
About 250 teams from across the world<br />
are expected to play in the tournament.<br />
The New Zealand teams were named last<br />
week.<br />
Former White Sox captain and<br />
Olympian Kiri Shaw will resume her<br />
role as head coach of the Junior White<br />
Sox. She will be joined by new assistant<br />
coach, Carley Ratu, who is the mother of<br />
under-18 squad member Kaiyah.<br />
It will be Kaiyah’s second trip overseas<br />
in the last three months. She also travelled<br />
to Australia in December with the White<br />
Sox squad.<br />
Shaw said the teams are lucky to get the<br />
opportunity to see and compete against<br />
some of the best young female softball<br />
players in the world.<br />
“This whole experience is going to be<br />
massive, I can’t think of anything better<br />
than throwing ourselves into the firing<br />
line, so to speak,” she said.<br />
The tournament is the start of the Junior<br />
White Sox’ preparations for the first World<br />
Cup regional qualifiers next year, ahead of<br />
the 2<strong>02</strong>5 U18 softball world cup.<br />
