How to get help ?
ISF and ESF Development Commissions and its officers can help every federation/association mainly in three areas:
1. Education - We can help to organize local clinics for coaches, players or umpires, especially by sending qualified instructors, we also organize international clinics of different level for coaches, players and umpires , open for participants from all european countries, or we can provide educational brochures, booklets and other materials. Most of it could be found on this website or on website of ISF. In general, ESF and ISF Development Commissions are helping either the beggining countries and associations/federations, but also to educate coaches and umpires on elite level in attempt to rise the level of european softball.
2. Equipment - you can participate in ISF Equipment Support Program - large donating program run by ISF since 2003.
