SOFTBALL WA is looking for Indigenous women to take part in its Aboriginal Women’s Softball Carnival next month.
Collaborating with the Department of Sport and Recreation the carnival that was launched last year will use the new Social 7s format, a slow-pitch version of the game, which is fast and easy to play.
Softball WA chief executive Dean Burton said the carnival was aimed at girls and women, who currently played softball, or had not played in a while or were new to the game.
