Shari comes to the Dukes with years of baseball involvement and experience. At the local levels in Sherwood Park and Calgary, Shari coached rep fastball and house league baseball, played in the top ladies fastball Division in Edmonton, managed rep baseball teams (including the 2004 Bantam AAA National Champion Calgary Cubs) and sat on the Board of Directors for both Sherwood Park Minor Baseball and Baseball Calgary. She has also been highly involved with Baseball Alberta as the head coach of the Pee Wee Girls Team Alberta for Baseball Alberta, as a member of the Board of Directors and as the Chair for the Playoff Committee. One of her proudest achievements is spearheading a tiered Provincial league system which is still being utilized today. Shari designed and coordinated player camps, coaching clinics and special events in Calgary with Canadian Olympic Baseball Coach, Marty Lehn. She was the first woman to sit on an International Baseball Federation Technical Committee, working as a Technical Commission delegate at the Inaugural Women’s World Cup held in Edmonton in 2004 and currently sits as the sole female on Baseball Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development Committee. Shari is happy to be back in Sherwood Park and excited to be involved with the Dukes!
