ASA/USA Softball launches a NEW and improved www.usasoftball.com website

 

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) and USA Softball, the National Governing Body (NGB) of Softball in the United States, is excited to announce the launch of the new and improved www.USASoftball.com today.  A complete redesign under the digital platform of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the new website offers a rewarding experience for the end user and the ultimate fan of ASA/USA Softball.

 

Redesigned under the template followed by several NGB members of the USOC, the new site features updated and improved news stories, photo galleries, athlete bios and USA Softball history, including all-time rosters of the Olympic Games, Pan American Games, and International Softball Federation (ISF) World Championships.  This site will also be your home for information like stats, game results, and event information for all the teams that take the field for the Red, White and Blue.

 

Featured navigation titles include an ABOUT section detailing information about the NGB as well as contacts, frequently asked questions and the process to be selected to a USA Softball National team.  In addition, the COLLEGE CORNER title dates back to the early days of the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 poll with information from 2006 and beyond including weekly poll listings, former Player of the Week honorees, and how the Top 25 Division I Collegiate teams perform each week.

 

“We are thrilled to be launching this new look and facelift to the ASA/USA Softball brand and image,” said ASA/USA Softball Executive Director Ron Radigonda.  “As we continue to develop and learn more about the platform, we are anxious to provide a very user-friendly experience to our fans and audience on usasoftball.com.”

 

A RESOURCES center is available as well for usasoftball.com users with information from partner Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports that provides tools, resources, tips and advice you need to help youth athletes experience the best that youth sports have to offer. 

 

The user can browse the SHOP center to take home Team USA and generic softball apparel while also learning about SPONSORS and the up and coming USA Softball LEGACY Club driven from memberships.  The PLAY ASA center describes the assets of registering ASA and the benefits including equipment testing and insurance.

 

Stay tuned for more information regarding event streaming through this new site and be sure to bookmark it to follow all USA teams (Women, Men, Junior Women, Junior Men and Slow Pitch) throughout the entire season.
