My name is Cortney Hokason and I'm a regional All-American catcher and contact hitter with power. I'm looking to play in New Zealand and help a club perform this upcoming season. Here is my profile which includes my experience, stats, a video, and testimonials from recent coaches I've played for. The best parts about my game are receiving/framing, calling pitches, leading on the field, and blocking (you might see this when you look into my stats but I had 6 pass balls in my 6 years of playing collegiate softball while starting every year).
I played 204 games of Division III college ball, and finished with 143 hits, 36 doubles and 9 home runs. I was a team captain for three years, leading my team to three conference championships. I have coaching experience and am able to coach youth teams.
Career Highlights:
Experience at NCAA Division III level in the U.S.
All-conference recognition
Voted to all-region team
Averaged .321 over three seasons (33% of hits for extra bases)
Consistently high on-base percentages
I appreciate your time!
Thank you,
Cortney Hokanson

My name is Whitney Shepherd, and I just finished my college softball career in May 2024. I played for Reinhardt University, a nationally ranked college from Waleska, Georgia in the United States. We played in the very competitive Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) where Reinhardt was nationally ranked in the top 20 teams in the country during my time there.
I am writing to express my strong interest in playing softball overseas in New Zealand during the upcoming 2024 season. I am excited for the opportunity to contribute to your teams and experience softball in a new culture. One of my career goals is to coach high-level athletics so any opportunity to mentor/coach other athletes would also be ideal.
Here are some of my athletic highlights and college background:
In June 2024, I moved to Neunkirchen, Germany to play professional softball for the Neunkirchen Nightmares. This is my first season playing and coaching overseas. I play for their highest level first division team and coach the second division team as well as their youth teams. The opportunity to travel and play throughout Germany has been an amazing experience. However, the German season ends in October 2024 so I am looking to extend my international playing/coaching experience into 2024 and beyond.
My name is Neely Peterson, and I recently graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am a right-handed power hitting catcher. I finished the season First Team All-ASUN, ASUN Tournament MVP, selected to ASUN Tournament Team, unanimous selection for Preseason Catcher of the Year, broke the single season record at FGCU for most runners thrown out, batted .301 with 10 doubles, 4 HR, and 36 RBI.
I am reaching out to inquire about any available opportunities to play softball in New Zealand. Having developed a strong passion for the sport over the years, I am eager to continue playing at a competitive level while experiencing the unique culture and environment that New Zealand has to offer. I believe that my skills, dedication, and experience as a catcher would make a valuable addition to a team.
