Everything Throughout the summer, while she will be playing in this new women's baseball circuit, Audrey-Anne Vachon will be part of the Les Jackie team.

Septilienne Audrey-Anne Vachon joins the Canada East League, the first elite women's baseball league in the country.

The Canada East League is a circuit bringing together the best Canadian 17-year-old players and more.

The 19-year-old athlete considers that she is setting the next milestone on her athletic journey.

Before, we played in the men's teams. We managed to have a provincial team in which I evolve since I was 12 years old. But there, we have an all-female elite league, she explains.

“[By joining the Canada East League] we have achieved a great goal. We continue to improve, but it is really a great step that we have taken. »

In addition to this new challenge, the athlete will change position. She will go from pitcher to center field.

I started playing in the field in the elite leagues and I found my place. I found my passion. I cover a lot of ground and I catch all the balls, says Audrey-Anne Vachon.

She could also be selected for the Canadian U21 and senior championships which are scheduled for the month of July in the Maritimes.
