    Jeff Shapton
    Woodstock Wranglers 12U Tier 1
    Jeff uses humour, patience, and warmth when interacting with players, umpires, and other teams. His genuine love for the game, and for coaching, is readily apparent through his enthusiasm and energy at every outing, and most importantly, through his methods of instruction to his players. If a challenging situation arises during a game, he can be known to 'take the high road' and stay true to modeling positive leadership and grace to not only his own players and coaching staff, but parents too.

    Sarah Marckesano
    Brantford Red Sox 12U Tier 1
    Sarah stressed player development all year and it paid off in the end. She had many chances to shorten the lineup to 9 players but kept it at 10 including the final game to win the 12U AA OBA Championship. Sarah is always the first to congratulate a player on the other team for a good play or performance. All the players look up to her and respect her. Sarah showed her caring and community side of things when one of the parents had to have surgery and she organized a team meal plan.
