Benefits of becoming a scorer

The key to scoring is to start slowly and build your skills as your understanding of the game grows. Your advancement can be as directed as you like, whether you prefer just scoring for your local team or whether you wish to pursue scoring at a state level or even international level.

You can score on paper, with technology or a combination of both. All that is needed to get started is an interest in softball and a desire to learn more. Scoring alongside other scorers also provides an opportunity to expand your knowledge and discuss interesting plays you have seen. Regardless of the level that you score at, there are resources to assist you as well as an extensive National Scoring accreditation program. 

Visit our Resources page where you’ll find score sheets, scoring manuals and more to help you with your scoring career.
