The IMPACT Award, established in January 2022, is given to an athlete and a volunteer who has contributed to our organization in a way that exemplifies our commitment to respect, teamwork, and unity. Their behaviors and attitudes show a dedication to making themselves, their teammates, and/or their communities a place where people are valued and encouraged. These individuals promote behaviors and practices that lead to a healthier lifestyle, including sports, friendship, and acceptance.
The May Athlete Award goes to Ryan Royston.
Ryan joined Softball Skills for the first time this spring and was then recruited by the Cardinals. He cares for and encourages his teammates. He is genuinely kind and is a team player. Coaches love his enthusiasm for the game and his ability and willingness to play many positions. He can also be found with his fellow Western athletes on the pickleball court on Wednesday evenings. He will be participating in the Summer Games for softball. Ryan also loves to share stories with his team about his adventures off the field, which include riding roller coasters and zip lining.
The May Volunteer Award goes to Kelsie Humbert.
Kelsie is an incredible middle schooler who has been helping out in multiple sports for the past two years. Our bocce, basketball, and Top Golf athletes enjoy her friendship and sweet disposition.
