Congratulations to Riley James on his selection for the Aussie Steelers squad. This incredible opportunity will take him to Canada from July 8 to 14, where the team will defend their 2022 championship title.
Riley’s journey in softball began with the Angels in 2004 as a young junior. Since then, he has represented Mackay, Queensland, and Australia on numerous occasions.
Volunteer and former coach Cheryl Martin said, “As one of many coaches that have coached him, I always found Riley to be a very polite, considerate and ambitious young man – always putting in 100% to training and his games.
“It's fantastic to see the accomplishments he has made, as he strives to make more.”
Riley won't have time to hang his glove up as he heads to Toronto, USA, from May to July for three months of competition in the ISC tournament, traveling to face various teams. He will then compete in the Fast Pitch STK competition in Mankato, USA, from July 26 to August 2.
Once he’s finished in Toronto, Riley hopes to earn selection for the World Cup in China, taking place from August 7 to 17.
“We wish him all the best to fulfil his dreams and all future endeavours,” Cheryl added.
Before heading off on his international journey, Riley will return to Mackay to compete in the annual Mayday Carnival from May 2 to 5—a great opportunity for supporters to catch up with him.
