Tell a dummy slow-pitch ump like me what the heck does the letters AFA stand for?

Get back with us and tell us all about those wild tales and great coaches stories you must have had

Don,

AFA is The American Fastpitch Association. They
have been around for 12 years now. Really just a
letters game to allow more girls to play I think.
Not much difference in the rules, a few. Age cut
off is main thing.
January 1st of current year is cutoff. In this
tournament we had 122 teams (2 teams dropped from when I
had my first post on this) average team count was
12 per and we have pool then bracket - tournament
runs from Tues to Sun, with championship normally
around 2:00. This year in the 18U for first time
in the four years I have done this age group we had
an IF game.

Long answer for what does AFA stand for, huh.
