Northwoods League Softball Coming To Wausau

Thursday, December 5th, 2024 -- 8:08 AM

Northwoods League Softball will be coming to Wausau in 2025. Like the Wausau Woodchucks, Wausau Softball will be a collegiate summer league women’s softball team with athletes coming from across the country to compete at Athletic Park and across the Upper Midwest.

Brianne Barta, who previously served as the Assistant General Manager for the Woodchucks, will lead the new team as their General Manager.

Northwoods League Softball recently finished their inaugural season this past summer with teams located in La Crosse, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin; Minot, North Dakota; and Mankato, Minnesota. The teams played a 42-game season from mid-June until early August. Playing in the league will help to prepare athletes for the college, Olympic, and future professional careers.

“I am excited for the opportunity to bring women’s collegiate softball to Wausau,” Barta says. “This is certainly an opportunity to do something that has not been done before in the city and to open new doors for women’s sports. With the growth in popularity in women’s sports in recent years, especially at the college level, an additional Northwoods League Softball team in Wausau will be a chance to highlight the skill and talent of more high-level female athletes.

For now, the team will be known as the Wausau Softball Club with a Name the Team contest starting on December 5th through the team’s website at wausausoftballclub.com. The Wausau Softball schedule and group hospitality and ticket packages will be available soon.
