Sulphur, LA once again welcomes the NPF Championships and the RINGOR Friends of the Pros Game. National Pro Fastpitch players team up with local disabled children in an exciting game of softball.

Ringor's philosphy for softball cleat design has always included the word "Value".  We provide options for our footwear so our customers can get the most out of their purchases with us.  One of those options includes the removable insole.  And as exciting as it is to read about insoles, I thought I would put a little spin on the subject to "freshen up" the discussion.  
 

Ringor is happy to make this season's shopping easier with the addition of the new Ringor eGift Card.

It is a great time of year to find the perfect gift for someone special on your list. If that person loves softball then Ringor has the perfect gift for them.

We are always striving to improve the user experience at Ringor.com  to ensure our customers' experience with us is a good one.  Sometimes we test new images, quietly improve the ordering process or even reorganize products so they are easier to find.

When my plane touched down in Portland I realized my summer was over.  NPF season #7 has come to an end.

We wrapped up our season in Sulphur, LA at the NPF championships.  Losing 2 out of 3 games to the USSSA Pride, who eventually beat the Chicago Bandits to win the finals, and turned out to be the end of our season.

The Ringor tournament season has come and gone as quickly as it was upon us.  This season we had booths at tournaments in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah, Texas, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Louisiana and Ohio and we're sure the Ringor "Road Warriors" are happy to be home as well.

With Jennie Finch announcing her retirement recently, I was taken aback. She and I are the same age and I still remember the first time I saw her at Nationals in 1994.  I remember watching Jennie grow as a player and as a person.

An athlete like Jennie Finch is hard to come by. The pure skill that she possessed early on, the drive she had to get better and the commitment she had to softball.  That is something you don't see in many athletes these days.  She has represented the USA and the game of softball with so much character, professionalism and class that she will truly be missed.  She will always be considered one of the best players in softball history.

This week I brought along the digital camera and took some photos from around the clubhouse and out on the road.  I've included a few of them in this post along with a little commentary to help explain each photo.

How exciting!  This was my first visit to Nashville.  It was pretty cool going through Cincinnati and coming into Nashville.  A week ago I was staring at the I-84E sign, now I'm staring at the I-440 sign choosing Memphis or Nashville as a destination.  The travel part of playing for the NPF is so cool!
