https://linktr.ee/iscfastpitch The purpose of the International Softball Congress (ISC) shall be to create an interest in and promote men’s and boys’ fastpitch softball, to keep the game clean and free from objectionable features, to make it a sport that will be attractive to lovers of all clean competitive sports, and to provide a series of games that lead up to ISC championships. The ISC was founded on the principles of providing equal opportunities for all in the game of softball. We strongly encourage the softball community around the globe to treat everyone with dignity and respect. There is no room for racism in our sport or in our society. The ISC, as we know it today, began as the National Softball Congress in 1947. The NSC was founded by LARRY WALKER of Phoenix, Arizona. Walker and others, including CARROL FORBES of Greeley, Colorado, were dissatisfied with some of the policies of the national governing body for softball at the time. The NSC held championships for men and women and operated from 1947 through 1957. In December 1950, Forbes, a former president of the NSC, split with Walker and formed a new male-only organization, the International Softball League. From 1951 thru 1957 both the NSC and ISL held championship tournaments. The NSC ceased operations in 1957 and Forbes brought some of the NSC’s administrators into his group and renamed it the INTERNATIONAL SOFTBALL CONGRESS.
