Can't help feel that the Aces totally miss the chance to engage with MWBL juniors.
Do they engage at all with the summer league kids (my two boys can only play winter juniors.)
An Aces player/staffer presenting winners trophies would mean that the kids would see a face and when they make the looooong trek to Altona, would know a player. My eldest played cricket for a middling cricket club and they had coaching sessions with Big Bash players from a Melbourne team, not the top tier players but they have seen the guy play in the Big Bash. My youngest was doing Milo cricket and got to play at lunch at the G during an Ashes match. The best time to get a fan base is when they are young but I've never seen anything except there was an MWBL day during the season but given the teams aren't playing I'm not sure too many took notice.
