MaxPreps will serve as the official statistics and results provider for the NFCA's High School Player of the Week program. Each week during the fall season, the NFCA will choose one Player of the Week who had a great week in play to receive the award.

"MaxPreps is extremely proud to be affiliated with the National Fastpitch Coaches Association," said Andy Beal, President, MaxPreps. "The support the NFCA has shown the sport of softball is unmatched and their objectives and mission make them a perfect match for MaxPreps."

Coaches must submit player statistics to MaxPreps in order to make their athlete eligible to win the award.
MaxPreps publishes schedules, scores and standings for each of the nearly 17,900 schools participating in girls softball across the country. MaxPreps also provides high school coaches with team pages, statistical software and a variety of other services, all free of charge.

Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the NFCA will use results and statistics provided by MaxPreps to assist in its Player of the Week program and aid in the site's efforts to become America's resource for softball information.

Winners will receive a MaxPreps/NFCA branded letterman's patch, certificate and recognition on both MaxPreps and NFCA.

This fall, the NFCA Player of the Week program will cover the following states:

Colorado

To nominate a player for the award, the coach must enter his or her athlete's game stats into MaxPreps by Sunday evening to be eligible for that week's award. The NFCA High School Player of the Week will be announced by the Association on NFCA's website every Monday during the fall season.
