Big Region Preseason Invitational

February 8 - February 9

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – In partnership with Visit Johnson City, King University Softball will make history at Winged Deer Park this Winter. The Big Region Preseason Invitational will take place February 8-9 at the James K. Ellis Softball Complex, marking the first time a collegiate softball event has ever taken place at the newly-completed complex.

This preseason invitational is made possible in part by the newly added James K. Ellis Softball Complex at Winged Deer Park. The offering of synthetic turf fields allows softball play to occur earlier in the year than ever before. This additional time to schedule sporting events on the turf ultimately increases the economic impact Visit Johnson City and other groups can yield locally.

The event will consist of eight competing collegiate softball teams, local and out-of-market, including:
• Barton College – Wilson, NC
• Carson-Newman University – Jefferson City, TN
• Converse University – Spartanburg, SC
• Emory & Henry University – Emory, VA
• King University – Bristol, TN
• Lees-McRae College – Banner Elk, NC
• Tusculum University – Greeneville, TN
• UVA Wise – Wise, VA

The first pitch on Saturday, February 8th will be at 1:00 PM, while the first pitch on Sunday, February 9th will be at 11:00 AM. Admission to the event will range between $10 to $20.
