    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.

  • Interview of Cheri Kempf, Commissioner of National Pro Fastpitch
    Interview of Cheri Kempf, commissioner of National Pro Fastpitch. by Gaétan Alibert, Honus www.honus.fr The current championship celebrates its tenth anniversary. How is the NPF? We just finished our 11th season of NPF action. The NPF has 4 strong owners. Our priorities at this point are expansion, securing solid ownership for more teams. The NPF is optimistic in continuing to move forward and position ourselves as a legitimate sports entertainment option both in-venue and on television. What are the strengths that enable the success of the league? #1 The talent is second to none. The NPF is the most competitive level of fastpitch softball in the world. #2 The sport itself is extremely popular in the United States. NCAA has proven the overwhelming success of the sport on television. At times, NCAA Softball has come in 3rd in all sports for television ratings...with only NCAA football and men's basketball in front. So, popularity is there. #3 The aforementioned positions television networks to have an interest in the sport at the professional level. What challenges do you still? The biggest challenge right now, is the non-engagement of corporate America in women's sports overall. There are a lot of opportunities for the NPF and a lot of opportunities for the NPF to be able to contribute positively to ROI of corporate partners. However, those potential partners are still opting to invest in men's sports - of ANY kind - rather than to invest in women's sports. What are the current or future plans for the organization? Continued growth in the areas of corporate partnership, team expansion, and television Is it not too hard to move in the shadow of the MLB and professional baseball in general? The challenge is not just MLB, but the mindset of corporate America to continue to do what they've always done and invest in men's sports.

Imposing sex segregation on sports is problematic for many reasons. Sex segregation reflects and reinforces a binary view of both sex and gender unsupported by science. It communicates that women are physically unable to compete against men, even though research indicates considerable variation among individual athletes and different sports, and further reveals that attributes other than sex are often more important determinants of athletic ability. It reinforces unfounded gender stereotypes that harm both women and men. And sex segregation uncritically prioritizes athletic activities involving strengths typically associated with male bodies, without requiring us to ask why we view these strengths as the most important in the first place.
