Softball Alberta is pleased to announce the second part of the International Sport Exchange program with the Alberta
Sport Connection (ASC) & and Alberta’s sister province of Hokkaido, Japan.
A formal relationship between the province of Alberta & Hokkaido, Japan has been in place now for 39 years. The
exchanges that take place are designed to foster sport development, friendship, mutual understanding and potential
economic development.
The 2018 Exchange involved the selection of an Alberta delegation that travelled to Hokkaido, Japan in August 2018 &
now, the reciprocal visit from the Hokkaido delegation will take place in late August across Alberta. The Hokkaido,
Japan delegation will be travelling across Alberta in 2019 and will also play a series of exhibition games in the province.
Softball Alberta is responsible for the selection of 4 teams that will consist of 13 female players & coaches who will
play in these exhibition games against the Japan team.
