Panama City Beach welcomes the World Softball League (WSL) to town for two big weekends of championship play September 11-13, and September 18-20, 2009.
Sports in September are full of adult men’s, women’s, and co-ed softball play.
Last year over 200 teams participated at the Frank Brown Park recreational facility and surrounding sports complexes. Because of the anticipated size for this year’s event, the second week was added for the WSL North American Championship.
In 2003, Panama City Beach was awarded the bid for the event. Other destinations that were in the running consisted of Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Daytona Beach. The inaugural event in 2002 was held in Las Vegas.
The WSL is nationally known for its softball 360 cable TV show that reaches over 70 million homes, and its “Long Haul Bombers Stadium Power Tour” where some of the top players in the game compete in a home-run derby before the major league teams play. These stadium performances have taken place before Florida Marlins, San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, Washington Nationals, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta Braves, and Colorado Rockies games amazing fans and players with the distance these athletes can hit a softball. WSL is also recognized for its “North American Championships” that are played annually in Panama City Beach. Over $87,000.00 in total prizes are awarded for the two championships. This year, for the first week’s championship, Softball Kingdom will be streaming live over the internet some of the games and the championship game.
Add all this exposure of TV, Stadium Tours, and internet streamlining together, the WSL relationship is a major “Home Run” for Panama City Beach.

September 15-18, 2009 Sports Marketing will also be attending the S.P.O.R.T.S. Institute Conference in Orlando.
