INTRODUCTION The Australian Softball Federation (ASF) was formed in 1947, by softball associations in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. The ASF, today known as Softball Australia, aims to provide opportunities for people to participate at all levels and in all forms of the game, by developing, promoting and managing the game throughout Australia. Softball now spans across every state and territory in Australia offering involvement for all individuals at school, club, state, national and international levels. There are two forms of softball – fastpitch and slowpitch. Fastpitch softball is widely played, especially at competition level, while slowpitch softball is promoted as a recreational game in Australia. Championships are held at both state and national levels on an annual basis and are for the age groups of Open Women and Men, Under 23 Women and Men, Under 19 Women and Men, Under 16 Girls and Boys and Masters. At an international level, softball is played in over 120 countries around the world. Australia is currently the only country in the world to have their four national teams ranked in the top three; Australia’s Open Women’s team - Aussie Spirit, Open Men’s team – Aussie Steelers, and Under 19 Women’s team – Aussie Pride, are ranked third in the world with the Under 19 Men’s team – Aussie Colts, ranked number one. These high world rankings are a reflection of the quality of softball at the local level and standard of education and accreditation systems in place in areas such as coaching, umpiring and scoring in Australia. A significant strength of softball in Australia is the dedication of a large number of volunteers who give their own time to administer the sport. OUR MISSION “Softball Australia will provide quality sport opportunities for all in the community. As a united group striving for excellence, we will be responsive to stakeholders’ expectations and will endeavour to deliver softball is a spirited, fun and innovative sport in a changing world” Softball Australia 1
