Alabama Gulf Coast sports fans, and particularly softball fans, will be happy to know that the 2011 NAIA Women’s Softball National Championship is scheduled to start next Thursday, May 19th at the Gulf Shores Sportsplex. Come watch as 32 college teams compete for the National Champions title!
All 32 teams will play three games in pool play action from May 19th to May 21st, followed by an eight-team double elimination round on the 23rd and 24th. The final champion-deciding game will be played on May 25th.
The mix of teams competing in this championship promises to make it an exciting event. The current national champion Simon Fraser (B.C.) is returning to defend its title. Oklahoma City, the leading team in all-time championship wins, will play against Mobile, who is competing in the championship for the 16th time. The Stars hold the record for the most NAIA championships attended, this year being their 25th trip. And there are several teams making a first appearance at the championship—a good setup for a potential underdog winner.
Don’t miss the excitement! Be there to cheer on your favorite team, or just follow the whole week-long event to see who will come out on top.
