The official start of the 2015 West Conference season begins with the annual DEA Kickoff in West Covina; CA. Twenty-two teams arrived to show off their new uniforms, and for some teams, new players. The Missouri Lawmen couldn’t wait to leave the frigid Midwest winter for some California weather. The tournament was once again sponsored by Bret Helmer and was an Easton provided bat format. Frank Terronez also provided Bass bats to the fields as well.

2014 marked the 10 year anniversary of the Police Softball World Series. To commemorate the event specially designed logos were unveiled with the Roman numeral X (ten). Even the stone obelisk trophies were special as they were made of a pearl white marble which is a stark contrast to the previous 9 that were made from black and green stone. The event was simply called World Series X.

This year we had six nominations submitted for the PS.Com Hall of Fame. It is truly an honor to be nominated by your peers and teammates. Congratulations to all of the nominees for this honor. Each nominees biography was forwarded to the West Coast HOF Committee for consideration. Each nomination is considered based on the PS.Com HOF criteria, and other considerations such as longevity in the sport, playing ability, and other factors as they pertain to Police softball

This year there were 15 highly qualified East Coast Nominees who were nominated by their peers in PS.COM. It truly should be considered an “honor” just being nominated for the PS.COM Hall of Fame. When the committee discusses the nominees we take into consideration several key factors before we vote. These factors are longevity in Police Softball, playing ability, coaching/managing/sponsoring a team, being a tournament director, professionalism on and off the field and if they truly made a positive impact or were a game changer within the Police Softball community.
