Softball Season Heats Up
FrontLines - April 2009
USAID staff in more than 100 countries battle poverty and disease
daily, but a dozen or so softball
players who work at Agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., will soon do battle with a different kind of enemy—other U.S. government agencies.
The USAID softball team is the reigning champion of the U.S. Government Interagency Softball League. Winning the championship
two of the last three years, the USAID team—in what some call a display of “soft power”—trounced the Departments of Defense, Justice, Commerce, Agriculture, Homeland Security, and State.
Softball games begin mid-
to late April and are played on the National Mall or at Hains Point, typically from 6 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
The league is designed to have fun playing and to get to know colleagues from other federal agencies. Interested parties can play one game, a few games, or all games. Anyone based in Washington or in town on temporary
duty can feel free to come out and play or cheer the team
to victory.
For more information, contact Coach James Brackin or Chief Recruiter Rebecca Gustafson.
