Softball is closing in on a place in the Commonwealth Games following the decision to brand the game as a ‘category 2 sport’.
The promotion by the Commonwealth Games Federation’s Sport Committee means Softball can now be considered as an optional sport to be added to the 2018 event.
“This is another great step in our mission to establish softball as the most inclusive team sport on the planet,” said ISF President Don Porter.
“Our sport has shown its universality by not only being in 128 ISF member countries, but through its appearance on the programme of so many multi-sport Games.
“We have long sought for the Commonwealth Games to be one of those though and today we are that much closer to accomplishing that goal.
“I thank the CGF Sport Committee and Executive Board for their trust and confidence in our sport and the resultant upgrade of softball to category 2.”
CGF Chief Executive Officer Michael Hooper told Mr. Porter that the Committee and the Board “were pleased to note the progress being made within your development programmes across the Commonwealth and the ISF’s continued commitment in this area.”
