History:

True to its motto of “Citizenship, Friendship, Leadership, Sportsmanship, Scholarship,” Bobby Sox Fastpitch Softball is committed to giving all girls the freedom and opportunity to play softball – with the aim of molding them into better citizens. Bobby Sox’s unsung heroes, founders William Honaker and Everett Skillings, devoted the final years of their lives building a strong foundation for the organization by establishing administrative guides and playing rules.

Innovations unique to Bobby Sox include a draw system that enables a girl to be placed on a team without having to try out; and ruling out of player drafts and trading. Bobby Sox also requires team managers to be women, and a gender-balanced board of directors.
