USSSA Pride head to Calgary, Alberta & Grand Prairie Texas for an exciting week of Fastpitch Softball!

It’s an exciting time for the USSSA Florida Pride! As the 2011 season continues the Pride hits the road and goes international! The team travels to Calgary, Canada for a three day series August 2-4 and finishes up the week at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie, TX August 5-6. The team is excited to cross the border to share their talents with our neighbors to the north. Two players native to Canada, Danielle Lawrie and Jenn Salling, are especially excited to show off their professional talents to the locals. “It is important to spread the word of fastpitch softball where ever we are welcome” says Lawrie. “The whole purpose of playing for the NPF and the Pride is to get girls excited about the sport that we love to play and give them opportunity to play professionally someday” Salling adds.

Along with the Canadians going back to their roots, a few Texans will be returning to their old stomping grounds. Big names like Cat Osterman, Megan Willis, and Sarah Pauly all began their journey to professional softball with their college careers in Texas. For Cat Osterman, Texas is part of her career as she was a part of Longhorn softball. Fast forward a few years and she is playing for the National Team and professionally  for the USSSA Pride.

We invite everyone to come out to watch truly the best women athletes in the world compete and spread the word about the NPF. If you can’t make it out, don’t worry! You can catch all of the action with our FREE LIVE coverage of the games at dev.usssapride.com/live
