NSA CANADAHistory
NSA Canada was formed in the spring of 1997, by a groupof players wanting more out of their Slo-pitch program.
Our mission right from that very first meeting was to bean organization that paid attention to its members,
whether they are players, umpires, tournament organizers
or league directors.
This statement alone brings us to many of the policies inplace today!
NSA Canada originally started as a Coed program. In 2002, weexpanded to involve the Mens & Womens program. This also
includes our Masters program. The first ever Mens &
Womens Canada World Series started in 2002.

NSA CANADAFacts
Every year, NSA Canadas board members meet with the directors,slo-pitch players, leagues, tournament convenors and umpires fromall over Canada to get suggestions and ideas to further improve ourprogram.
NSA Canada takes these ideas very seriously, because after all, it is
the people involved with the sport that matter. NSA Canada also takes pride in its directors and umpires, so
anything they bring to the table to further our program, is seriouslyconsidered.
NSA Canada is an organization built for players by players. We
believe that anyone who participates in this sport, should be able toplay for whomever and whenever they desire.
We are very excited about our continued growth across Canada,making NSA the fastest growing program in Canada.
