National Baseball Academy

The Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) has secured a strategic investment from Major League Baseball, bolstering the professional softball landscape across the United States. The newly established league, founded in 2024 and with its inaugural season slated for 2025, is set to shift to a city-based model by 2026. Games for its first season will tour six to eight cities, offering players salaries ranging from approximately $40,000 to $45,000—with potential for bonuses up to $75,000. This development reflects growing infrastructure and support for elite-level softball in the region that includes Rockwall, where training academies such as the National Baseball Academy operate.
