Softball New Zealand

History:
Mr. W.H. Wilson,
of the Ford Motor Company, has been credited
for introducing softball to New Zealand
in the early 1930s. It was, however, the
American sailors who first played a softball
game, and formally introduced softball as
a recreational sport in 1935. Organized
competitions took place in 1937-38, thus
paving the way for the establishment of
the Wellington Softball Association in 1937.
The formation of an even bigger organization
ensued as the sport spread throughout the
country, with the New Zealand Softball Council
formed in January 11, 1938.
