National Pro Fastpitch Comes to All Sports Television Network FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE National Pro Fastpitch Comes to All Sports Television Network All Sports Television Network will broadcast National Pro Fastpitch softball league games. Tuesday, September 8, 2020 Las Vegas, NV – All Sports Television Network (ALL SPORTS) announces that it has entered into an agreement to broadcast National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) softball league games. Under the agreement, ALL SPORTS will air NPF’s prior season league games, which serves as a prelude to the upcoming summer Olympic games. "We are thrilled to be bringing professional fast pitch softball to American television viewers," stated ALL SPORTS President Roger Neal Smith. "Our decision to air the games actually addresses two issues that I believe to be very important. First, since some of these athletes will be representing the U.S. in the upcoming summer Olympics, they should get the Cleveland Comets vs. Canadian Wild Photo Credit: Canadian Wild recognition that they deserve, even prior to the games. Courtesy of National Pro Fastpitch Second, and more important, I believe that women’s sports are woefully underrepresented on television and the media in general. ALL SPORTS plans to change that situation. We intend to let the American public see that there are many very talented women athletes worldwide and that women sports are just as entertaining as their male counterparts." About National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) National Pro Fastpitch (NPF), an Official Development Partner of Major League Baseball since 2004, provides elite female athletes with an opportunity to pursue a professional career in fastpitch softball beyond their collegiate and amateur success. The NPF Amanda Chidester, Chicago Bandits Photo Credit: Brandon Randall affiliate teams consist of the Aussie Peppers of Minnesota, Courtesy of National Pro Fastpitch Canadian Wild of Southern Illinois, Chicago Bandits, Cleveland Comets, and California Commotion. National Pro Fastpitch players hail from the United States, Australia, Canada and Mexico, and represent the most accomplished and talented athletes in the sport of women’s softball.

  • Fastpitch Softball Coaching Kit
    FASTPITCH SOFTBALL COACHING KIT www.slugger.com Dear Coach, It wasn’t that long ago that I was playing in youth leagues. I have fond memories of the fun I had and the friends I made on those fields. In fact, much of what I know about softball was learned in the youth leagues. And the most important part of my early softball education began with my youth league coaches. All of us on the Louisville Slugger Advisory Staff would like to thank you for your involvement in youth league softball and baseball. It may sound cliché, but it’s true: You will get just as much out of the experience as your kids will. The purpose of this Youth League Coaching Kit is to help you become a better coach. Inside, you’ll find a valuable playing guide with instructions on hitting, fielding, conducting practices and even dealing with your players’ parents. We’ve also included a chart to help you select the proper bat for your players. We’ve packed a wealth of softball knowledge into this year’s Youth League Coaching Kit. We hope you and your players will benefit greatly from this information. So take time now to thoroughly read this material before your team takes the field. Who knows, maybe a few years from now you’ll see one of your former players competing for a gold medal in the Olympics. Good luck on a fun and successful season! Sincerely, Jessica Mendoza U.S. Olympic Softball Team Member, Louisville Slugger Advisory Staff When conducting a practice, SUGGESTED it’s important to use your time PRACTICE efficiently.

  • Chasing Equity Executive Summary
    Chasing Equity: The Triumphs, Challenges, and Opportunities in Sports for Girls and Women A Women’s Sports Foundation Report, January 2020 January Report, Sports Foundation A Women’s We exist to unlock the possibilities of every girl and woman through the power of sport. The time for equity is now. At the Women’s Sports Foundation, we recognize that knowledge is power. WSF’s latest report, Chasing Equity: The Triumphs, Challenges and Opportunities in Sports for Girls and Women shines a light on the current landscape for girls and women in sport reflected in the latest data from more than 500 research reports and results from a new national survey of more than 2,300 women working in women’s sport. Taking stock of where we are in achieving gender equity in sport requires study, transparency and candor. This groundbreaking report brings together the latest facts and milestones and elevates the voices of women offering fresh insight and perspective. Importantly the report includes calls to action to help propel momentum for change. Stakeholders in all areas of sport, from grassroots to high school, college and elite athletics, collegiate administrators, coaches, policymakers, leaders in the corporate and media sectors all have a critical role to play. WSF is committed to keeping these conversations at the forefront and working collaboratively with others to accelerate the pace of change. Continued progress depends on comprehensive, up-to-date information in real time. Only when we operate from a shared understanding of the landscape can we ensure thoughtful conversation and sound decision-making necessary for progress.

    Braking News The Official Newsletter of the Stratford Brakettes/Junior Brakettes/18U Select Brakettes Volumne 3,Issue 2 Editor: Bob Baird (203) 218-1066 December 2020 FAU SLUGGER ANSWERED THE ‘CALL’ FOR THE STRATFORD BRAKETTES Stephanie Call never got the opportunity to represent the United States on the softball diamond. She played her Brakettes career just three years into a 12-year hiatus from softball’s next scheduled appearance in the 2020 Olympics. Well, she finally got her chance to play for Team USA last summer as a member of the USA Softball Women’s Slow Pitch Futures team. It’s doubtful she would have received a look if there had been Olympic Games in 2012 or 2016 since the selection process is heavily slanted toward college standouts in the Power Five Conferences. It’s similar to the College Football Playoff where the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC are the chief powerbrokers. Nevertheless, Stephanie Call played on some of the finest teams in Brakettes softball history from 2011-2014. She played three years and eight games, a total of 202 games. During that time the Brakettes compiled a 200-8 overall record and posted two unbeaten seasons (2011 and 2013). Coming to Stratford from Florida Atlantic University, where she played for Hall of Famer Joan Joyce, the 6-foot-2 Call arrived highly touted and she didn’t disappoint. The Fort Lake, FL, native set the individual season home run record with 31 in her first year and followed with marks of 21 and 22. Coming back for a long weekend in 2014, Call played in eight wins and hit five solo homers in 16 at bats, finishing her career with 79 home runs, good for the No.
