The WNCSSA is a player-run, volunteer-led governing body that, for many years, has managed the operational and competitive aspects of the local adult slow-pitch softball leagues. Our history is a story of passionate players taking ownership of their sport.

The WNCSSA formed during the explosion of slow-pitch softball’s popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As the number of teams ballooned, it became clear that a formal structure was needed beyond what the city’s parks and recreation department was able to handle at the time. The players themselves decided to create an association to give teams a direct voice in how their leagues were run.

The primary purpose of the WNCSSA is to provide governance and operational support, working in partnership with the City of Grass Valley Parks & Recreation.
