“The new facility became the talk of the senior softball world as word spread around the country about the great new fields in Myrtle Beach. These events have become two of our largest tournaments, and Myrtle Beach is the only destination where the ISSA holds two events in the same year. The players simply love coming to Myrtle Beach.”
