► LOGO DESIGN WINNER: Seton Hill Softball! “We hope the teams realize that we are doing all we can to give them the best experience – leading up to, during, and after the Games.” says Alison Strange, President of PFX Athletics. “THE Games are their games and we hope these little extras, like the logo design contest, give the teams a sense of not only competition, but pride in their role in the event.”

► FOR SUMMER, PFX Athletics has put together a competitive women’s fastpitch tournament series along the Eastern seaboard, USA. Team PFX Athletics will partner with the Virginia Women’s Fastpitch League for a summer series stretching from Clermont, Florida to Tidewater, Virginia. Opportunities also are being investigated to play internationally in Europe or Cuba.
► DONATIONS: In 2015, PFX Athletics provided over $10,000 in equipment to a local fastpitch youth league. In 2016, the tournament sponsors are soliciting teams to bring a bag of gently-used (but safe) gear to share with our local leagues and high schools.
► A MEDIA GUIDE/ PROGRAM BOOK is being introduced this year by PFX Athletics.
