Our latest Power Poll results show that 41% of those participating in our survey would prefer going to school and play college softball here in the SF Bay Area.
The Northeast region was the 2nd highest desirable place to attend school and play at 29%.
Conversely, their were not a lot of collegiate softball players ready to pack their books and bags to head to the Midwest (3%) or Southeast (3%).
We can conclude from the Poll that if you're not going to stay close to home and play, then you prefer to head East as far as you can-sorry parents!
Survey was based on over 200 responses.
