Quantity & Quality
Top Priorities For ASA
Softball and baseball organizations
look at a variety of factors when it
comes to selecting a host city for an
event.
A locale with the right size and
number of facilities is priority number
one for ASA/USA Softball. "We say
that you need a field for every 10
teams entered into a fast pitch event,"
said Ron Radigonda, executive director of ASA/USA Softball.
"So, if you have 170 teams in the
tournament youʼre going to need 17
legitimate fields to conduct the event.
The city doesnʼt have to have the
fields all in one location, but
they must have the
right facilities
when it comes
to quantity and
quality,"
Radigonda
added.
