Fastpitch Central

In general, these organizations sponsor a once a year national event (often called 'World Series'). During the remainder of the year 'sanctioned' events are held by each organization. Many of the events serve as qualifiers for the national events. Some are 'qualifiers' in name only since terrible teams have been known to go to national tournaments each year. These organizations fill the local need of setting up and operating tournaments including providing fields, umpires and similarly skilled teams as competition.
