Softball in Australia

Softball in Australia is played in Australia.
==History==
The game was first played in Australia in 1939, having been introduced to the country by Gordon Young of Canada, who at the time was the director of physical education in New South Wales. Prior to the Second World War, viogoro was one of the sports played by women in Australia. With the introduction of softball during the war, the game fell out of popularity and was replaced with softball in the eastern states. The game was introduced to a wider audience in 1942 by American nurses stationed in the country during the war. Their matches were organized by US Army Sargeant William Duvernet.〔〔 The Victorian Women's Softball Association was created two years later in 1944.〔 The association at the time of its founding had 20 teams, 250 members and staged regular competitions.〔 Women's participation in softball led to a decline in the number of women participating in cricket at this time.〔 A Queensland organisation was created in 1946 by the American Mack Gilley.〔 By 1946, the big states had their own association. In 1947, at the behest of Queensland, the first interstate championships were held in Brisbane, with the Victorians claiming victory.〔 Only New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland competed at the innaurgal event.〔
There were efforts by the Australian Softball Council as early as 1950 to get softball on the Olympic programme for possible inclusion at the 1956 Summer Olympics.
After the failure of getting softball on the 1956 Olympic programme, an attempt was made by Western Australians to get softball included on the schedule at the 1962 British Empire Games that were going to be held in Perth. Empire Games organisers did not support this as they allowed neither team sports, nor demonstration sports at the Games.
