A new professional softball league is launching in the US, backed by the country's national governing body.
The Women’s Professional Fastpitch (WPF) has announced its inaugural exhibition season’s schedule. Each stop is strategically placed around an existing youth tournament, bringing professional level competition straight to the next generation, the league says.
The Women’s Professional Fastpitch (WPF) is the official professional softball league in the United States, founded by USA Softball, USSSA -- a WBSC Member and Associated Member respectively -- and Smash It Sports. WPF aims to showcase many of the best athletes in softball, provide a world-class experience for fans, and connect young girls to their idols.
Olympians like USA’s Ali Aguilar and Delaney Spaulding; Mexico’s Chelsey Gonzales, Tatyana Forbes and Suzannah Brookshire; and Australia’s Ellen Roberts have signed deals to play in the inaugural season of the WPF.
