VTD started 12 years ago working with Girl’s Fastpitch Softball and decidedly sought out ASA Associations around the country to work with in making the sport better with technology. VTD managed over 4,200 tournaments and over 280,000 registrations in 2009. Beginning November of 2009, VTD will be separating from ASA to form a new organization. The primary reason for the separation is that ASA wants to bring the services “in-house” that VTD has provided for the past years.
We are actually excited about the separation because it gives us the ability to start a new organization! This concept was formed from people around the country that know there is a better way to serve the sport of softball. The primary philosophy behind VTD is that we are a service organization and not a governing body. The board of this organization will be run by VTD commissioners around the country.
Most youth sports organizations were started by some great people with some great ideas. The problem that has developed over the years is that those same people that are no longer involved with the coaches are the ones making decisions about the sport. The difference that we are going to make is based on the decision that once you are no longer involved with the teams, you can no longer be involved in the sport as a commissioner.
VTD will be what it always has been with a few extras that will be of no additional charge. Registrations will be on an individual basis and include the following:
- College Recruiting
- Video Training – for coaches, players and league administrators.
- Insurance – accidental and liability
- Tournament Hosting via fastpitchsoftball.net
- ID Cards & Background Checks
- National Championship Events
We have several people across the country that have committed to the success of this organization and we are searching for others that are ready to serve as a commissioner of VTD. The requirements are that you are actively involved in fastpitch softball and you have the time available to invest in marketing the program in your local area.
If you are ready to join us in this exciting opportunity that will be rewarding both emotionally and financially, please forward a resume along with references to
