Ari Chester Memorial
Ari Chester was a member of Trevian Girls Softball Association from 1997-2006, and during her senior year in high school, was the starting center fielder and co-captain of the New Trier Varsity Softball Team. She was dearly loved and respected by all.
Trevian Girls Softball Association dedicates the Ari Chester Memorial Award to Ari’s amazing character and fine spirit, and to her love for fastpitch softball. It is given each year to the player whose character, teamwork, effort, respect for others, and conduct on and off the field represents the ideal TGSA player.
At the beginning of each season, the head coaches shall inform the players and their parents of the award. Each head coach may nominate one player on his or her team to be the recipient of the award. Nominations should be submitted in writing or by email to the TGSA Board of Directors by the second Sunday in July.
One winner from the entire TGSA program will be selected annually by the Board of Directors. The names of the winners will be listed on the TGSA website and on the plaque they receive in recognition of their award.
