TGSF Player/Coach Awards

Deadline for all of the below listed awards is May 19th.

Vonda Murrah Player of the Year Award

Each year, Tulsa Girls Softball Federation, selects a player of the year from the 16/18Under competitive league. This award is given in honor of Vonda Murrah, a player who epitomized what it meant to be an athlete. The award is given annually to a player that is judged to best exemplify what Vonda displayed as a player/person: softball skills, character, leadership, and academic excellence.

This award has been given since 1985 to many very deserving players. TGSF is proud of this tradition and thrilled to be able to honor Vonda and these players in this way. The top five nominees will be invited to the annual TGSF banquet and be presented with a plaque recognizing their nomination. The winner will receive in addition to the plaque, awards recognizing her as the TGSF Player of the Year.

The award is given to TGSF players currently enrolled as a junior or senior in high school or a freshman in college. Applicants must be at least 15 years of age and must have participated in TGSF league play on a TGSF registered team during the preceding year.
