The Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic is the nation’s largest and most prestigious preseason college softball tourney, featuring more than 25 top Division I teams from across the nation. Celebrating its 17th year, the Cathedral City, California event occurs on February 20-23, 2020. This year will be extra special as Team USA (Women’s Olympic Softball Team) will be a featured guest team playing against the very best collegiate softball teams in preparation for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
Mayor John Aguilar and his fellow councilmembers will welcome Team USA to Cathedral City and present them with a proclamation on Thursday, February 20, 2020, 8:00 pm at Big League Dreams Sports Park. Thereafter the Opening Welcome, Councilmember Mark Carnevale will throw-out the first ceremonial pitch of the game between Team USA and the University of New Mexico.
Every game of the Mary Nutter Classic will be available live and via replay exclusively on FloSoftball.com via FloPRO subscription, which offers unfettered access to live and archived footage of top club and college softball events, original documentaries on stars of the sport, a library of technique videos and more.
The softball competition is hosted at the Big League Dreams Complex in Cathedral City, Calif., which was selected because of the idyllic Southern California weather in February and its destination draw for fans and teams to the resort community.
It is estimated that the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic brings in more revenue to the businesses in the Coachella Valley than every other event except the Bob Hope PGA Classic. More than 25,000 visitors came to the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in 2017.
Teams are selected and invited to create the highest RPI event in the country as well as creating a diverse regional mix of teams representing the entire country.
