What does that mean? More Players, coaches, umpires, scorers, other volunteers Better Softball experiences - incl competitions/tournaments Player development Competitions Facilities Results internationally Improved Alignment and cooperation Brand profile for the game Organisational performance – clubs, associations, SNZ
Why? Because … We have a great game and we want people to play softball because it offers great value – for example Can be played in an hour or two. It can be modified for kids and others You can play internationally You can get an education from it You can represent your country You can play with your mates or your family People of all abilities can play It’s game of action It’s challenging and fun There’s a variety of tournaments and competitions ETC
So, what stops us from being a leading sport now? In some areas we are doing well In others we haven’t responded to the changes that are occurring in the environment around us
