What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreEllie loves the constant challenge of learning new skills in tennis, soccer, tumbling, and track and field. Most of all though, Ellie loves playing with her teammates. They support each other, push each other to be better players, and celebrate each others’ successes.
Ellie is inspired by professional soccer player, Keera Melenhorst, a skilled and talented centre midfielder for Rapid FC. Coming from the same home town, Ellie is inspired by her style of play - sick skills in midfield and powerful shots!
Ellie is proudest of herself and her teammates when they have to push themselves in challenging games against fierce competition. Seeing how supportive the team is of each other makes me proud as a parent!
