The 11th of October will see the start of the first every Softball Slowpitch National League. The league will have three teams participating who will play a total of six games. The teams came together after a series of promotional events and games organised by the Malta Baseball & Softball Association over the summer months.

Director of Softball for the Malta Baseball & Softball Association Robert Mifsud said this is a result of the hard work carried out by the individual clubs to promote softball over the past months. Whilst the plan is to continue with the slow pitch league annually during October and November, other tournaments will be held during the first half of each year.

In the coming months the clubs will also be promoting the concept of fast pitch softball The main difference between the two versions being the technique and speed at which the ball is pitched by the pitcher.
