Slow-Pitch Softball

The Georgia High School Association regrets to announce that slow pitch softball will no longer be a sanctioned sport beginning with the 2009-10 school year. A lack of school participation is the reason for this suspension of slow pitch softball. The GHSA continued to sanction slow pitch during the 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years despite the fact less than a dozen member schools fielded teams. But indications are that participation will fall to such a low level in 2009-10 that it will no longer be feasible to sanction the sport.
