ARK YOUR CALENDARS! We are very pleased to announce the first annual 2011 Georgia Military Softball Tournament to be held here in Paulding County on June 17th -19th at Mt. Tabor Park off East Paulding Drive. Teams from all over the south east will gather to play some exciting softball. So far, there are 40 teams coming from Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas and Louisiana!
The planned activities for this event span over three days: HOME RUN DERBY - June 17, Friday at 7:30pm The Derby is open to anyone participating in the local Paulding County Softball League. The entry fee is $10.00, and everyone entering will receive a free Tournament T-shirt. The winner will receive a bat from Worth Sports and DRASH, then will be invited back to hit against a representative from Worth Sports on Saturday during the tournament. All proceeds from the Home Run Derby benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP provides valuable programs and services for injured men and women returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the mission of the WWP to honor and empower wounded warriors by assisting them with the transition back to a successful civilian life by offering benefits counseling, family assistance, internships and more.

The Georgia State Championship and is part of the Southeastern Military Softball Conference, under the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA). Teams who participate earn points based on their finishes, which are used in national rankings. The ranking are then used to send teams from all around the world to the World Tournament held in Panama City, Florida in August. With the help of Paulding Chamber of Commerce President, Carolyn Delamont and her staff, Mount Tabor Park was secured as the event location for the first ever Georgia Military Softball C h a m p i o n s h i p . T h i s is a big move for the Southeast Military Softball Conference, because it is the first tournament to be Paulding Chamber held outside an area near Tournament Ribbon Cutting a military base.
