National Softball Association
MISSION STATEMENT
Today more than ever, conducting your business in a cost-effective manner is a crucial ingredient to success. If you are spending a significant amount of time and money in securing qualifying tournaments and post season tournaments, you are probably losing thousands of dollars each year.
National Softball Association (NSA) is specifically designed to meet the special needs of each complex owner and the parks/recreation departments for today and in the future. That means under NSA's present structure your complex will never have to bid on a post season tournament. The NSA is not in the tee shirt novelty business - those rights belong to your complex and the tournament director. Around the country, park/complex owners and park/recreation directors search for new and better ways to satisfy their teams, managers and sponsors. Where there is a need, NSA is ready to respond with a system that guarantees more post season berths to the teams participating in NSA leagues and tournaments. This alone will make the teams, managers and sponsors more receptive to playing in your parks.
The NSA offers your complex and parks/recreation department the opportunity to send softball teams directly to the State, National Regional and World Series Tournaments through NSA sanctioned leagues and qualifying tournaments at no cost to you.
The NSA also offers your complex and parks/recreation department the opportunity to host State, National Regional and World Series Tournaments every year at not cost to you. NO BIDDING! The NSA is an organization with you, the parks & recreation director or private complex owner in mind.
Indiana YOUTH NSA

Amateur Softball Association
Amateur Softball Association
What is the Amateur Softball Association?
The Amateur Softball Association (ASA), a volunteer driven, not-for-profit organization based in Oklahoma City, OK, was founded in 1933 and has evolved into the strongest softball organization in the country. The growth and development of the association led the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to name the ASA the National Governing Body of Softball, pursuant to the Amateur Sports Act of 1978.
The ASA has many important responsibilities as the national governing body of softball in the United States, including regulating competition to insure fairness and equal opportunity to the millions of player who annually play the sport.
When the ASA entered the softball picture in 1933, the sport was in a state of confusion with no unified set of playing rules and no national governing body to provide guidance and stability. The ASA changed all that by adopting softball's first universally accepted rules of play and by organizing consistent and fair competition across the nation.
From this beginning, the ASA has become one of the nation's largest and fastest growing sports organizations and now sanctions competition in every state through a network of 87 local associations. The ASA has grown from a few hundred teams in the early days to over 250,000 teams today, representing a membership of more than four million.
King and His Court
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
EDDIE FEIGNER, THE KING OF SOFTBALL, FOUNDER AND PITCHING STAR OF THE WORLD FAMOUS 4 MAN SOFTBALL TEAM, THE KING AND HIS COURT, RETIRES AFTER 61 YEARS OF BARNSTORMING
The Ultimate Softball Team
Eddie Feigner - The King!
According to David Schoenfield - ESPN Sports Editor
From an article written May 15, 2002:
"Feigner’s fastpitch was once clocked at 104 mph ... In a two-inning exhibition in 1967, he fanned Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Maury Wills, Harmon Killebrew and Roberto Clemente. He's nearing 80, but ‘The King’ still tours with his “Court.” " The King and His “Court” touring team has played over 10,000 softball games in 100 countries since the late 1940’s and achieved widespread fame similar to that of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Sports Illustrated rated the “Court” in the Top Ten Teams of the Century. Feigner, winner of over 900 no-hitters, became famous for his ability to pitch from second base - while wearing a blindfold!
His fastball, named by ESPN as one of baseball’s “Ten Greatest Pitches,” was clocked at 104 mph.
In a two-inning exhibition in 1967, he struck out major league legends Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Maury Wills, Harmon Killebrew and Roberto Clemente. Mays fanned on a behind-the-back pitch from the “King”.
2004 marks the 59th year since "The Court" began
