Download Very Basic Guide to Making A Softball Field

MESSAGE FROM ISF PRESIDENT DON PORTER
Like all sports, for practice, training, or competition, a "field of play" is needed and while
softball is competed in at the international level, it is also played by millions who do not
compete at these levels, but still need a field to practice and compete.
The ISF's number one priority is the development of the sport at all levels of play including
recreational, schools, clubs, and masters, so a "playing field" that can be easily and
economically built and maintained is a must.
This guide is designed to help those in countries, cities, towns, and villages that have land
space but not the technical information to prepare a field of play for softball.
Softball is a growing global sport and it is important that the International Softball
Federation and its over 125 member National Federations provide support to those that
wish to develop, organize, and play softball. This guide is part of that commitment.
Don E. Porter
ISF President
