"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."

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:
