Northwoods League Softball is Coming to Wausau<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are thrilled to announce that Northwoods League Softball will be coming to Wausau in 2025. Similar to the Wausau Woodchucks, Wausau Softball will be a collegiate summer league women\u2019s softball team with athletes coming from across the country to compete at Athletic Park and across the Upper Midwest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Brianne Barta, General Manager of Wausau Softball Club<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Brianne Barta, who previously served as the Assistant General Manager for the Woodchucks, will lead the new team as their General Manager. \u201cI\u2019m very excited to see Brianne enter this leadership role,\u201d says Wausau Woodchucks and Softball Owner, Mark Macdonald. \u201cOver the past three years Brianne has distinguished herself with her intelligence, creativity, hard work and genuine interest in the sports entertainment business. \u00a0She will be a great person to lead us as we bring high level women\u2019s sports entertainment to Central Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Northwoods League Softball recently finished their inaugural season this summer with teams located in La Crosse, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin; Minot, North Dakota; and Mankato, Minnesota. The teams played a 42-game season from mid-June until early August. Playing in the league will prepare athletes for the college, Olympic, and future professional careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited for the opportunity to bring women\u2019s collegiate softball to Wausau,\u201d Barta says. This is certainly an opportunity to do something that has not been done before in the city and to open new doors for women\u2019s sports. With the growth in popularity in women\u2019s sports in recent years, especially at the college level, an additional Northwoods League Softball team in Wausau will be a chance to highlight the skill and talent of more high-level female athletes.<\/p>\n

This new addition of high-level collegiate softball coming to Wausau creates an important and unique opportunity for local softball athletes including the members of JBA Clutch Softball teams. These pioneering women will be a model of what young girls can do with their futures, in the world of sports and beyond.<\/p>\n

For now, the team will be known as the Wausau Softball Club with a Name the Team contest starting on December 5th<\/sup> through the team\u2019s website! The Wausau Softball schedule and group hospitality and ticket packages will be available soon. Full season, half season, and select mini ticket plans are on sale now – buy them here<\/a>! Call us at 715-845-5055 to get yours and to be a part of this historic season.<\/p>\n
