RTS has received confirmation through sources that USSSA will announce in the next 24 hours it’s intentions to launch a new professional softball league. Word started to circulate in the last 48 hours of the impending move, and those intentions became further evident with a conference call to USSSA Pride players on Tuesday. While complete details have not been brought to light as of yet, sources have indicated that both Smash It Sports and USA Softball could also be involved with the venture. The USSSA Pride has played as an independent professional team since they ended their relationship with National Pro Fastpitch back in 2019. The NPF announced they were ceasing operation earlier this summer.
