\u201cMikki or Mik as she likes to be called, has a great attitude on and off the field, said coach Mike Shumaker.\u00a0 \u201cShe has a lot to learn still about the game, but she brings with her a great Softball IQ.\u00a0 She is always wanting to compete with her team and herself to get better, and we are looking forward to watching her develop on and off the field.\u00a0 Congratulations on your Athlete of the month Mik, we appreciate all you do!\u201d<\/p>\n

Shumaker started playing softball at just 4 years old at Fullerton Hills.\u00a0 \u201cI have 2 older sisters that also played softball and I am almost always at a field or at a lesson for me or my sister,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cMy older sisters Hailey and Taylor have taught me a lot about hard work and having fun while playing a sport you love.\u00a0 This is my first Travel ball season on a new team. My team is awesome, and I am always excited to see them on and off the field.\u00a0 We are becoming a close group, and I consider my teammates some of my closest friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her favorite thing about her team is all the coaches. \u201cI really like going to our workouts as a team during the week.\u00a0 We work out a lot during the week, and we love hanging out together with our awesome trainers-they make running and working out fun! I always look forward to hitting and fielding with Coach Mike and the other 10U girls.\u00a0 We have a good time together; we challenge each other but still have fun even though we are on different teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

A favorite softball memory is hitting her first home run for her team.\u00a0 \u201cI love when I can make a play, or get a hit when my team needs me.\u00a0 I am looking forward to creating more memories with my team this summer.\u00a0 I am really excited to go to Oklahoma and play against a lot of really good teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

From all of us at the Alliance<\/a>\u00a0and the PCFL, congratulations to\u00a0Mikenna Shumaker for her achievements.<\/p>\n

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League\u2019s Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement of each League\u2019s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League\u2019s monthly report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
