NCAA rules baseball and softball are separate sports

The Women’s Sports Foundation asked the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics (CWA) to review the issue of softball and baseball being considered the same sport. The CWA asked the divisional interpretive bodies to reconsider the interpretations.

Based on the information gathered, including a West Virginia court case that treats the sports as different, NCAA Divisions I, II and III voted to reverse the interpretations.

The reversal now allows a softball student-athlete, for example, to participate on a baseball league and vice versa, within other NCAA rules and bylaws.

Previous interpretations of NCAA legislation stated baseball and softball were the same sport for NCAA amateurism and outside competition regulations. Therefore, a softball student-athlete could not participate on an organized baseball team during the academic year, for example, without jeopardizing her eligibility in softball.
