Update to USA Softball of Maine
All
I want to start by apologizing for the delay in updating the Maine website, things have been crazy with the multi sports event that I host.
Next I want to take this opportunity to THANK all of you, (coaches, parents, PLAYERS, UMPIRES, directors, loyal softball fans) for all the effort that was put into summer softball in 2020. I understand a lot of you had to adjust to the new rules that I made and were a little upset but,What a great team effort from all to accomplish what we did for all Maine Female Softball Players during the Covid 19 Pandemic. I for one am really amazed at what we were able to provide for the girls during the summer and fall. My events for 7 weeks resulted in 692 games being played here in Central Maine. I am not sure how we were able to do it but we hosted the largest USA State Championships EVER!!!! (73 teams total in 3 days) with no Covid issues and great weather. The Southern Maine area also was able to conduct a large schedule for teams to participate. So to all a Huge THANK YOU…

#BlueLivesMatter Tournament in Maine Pairs Law Enforcement and Softball
In the state capital city of Augusta, Maine, a relationship between law enforcement and USA Softball has blossomed into an annual tournament geared towards raising money for law enforcement charities. The #BlueLivesMatter tournament is the brainchild of Deputy Brittany Johnson, a detective with the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office in Augusta.
In 2015 Johnson, with the help of many others, held the inaugural #BlueLivesMatter tournament in the small town of Winslow, 30 minutes north of Augusta. The tournament has been held every year since, usually at the end of August or beginning of September, with each team made up of a different law enforcement agency and all the proceeds donated to a law enforcement charity or family.
