The California Softball Commotion (CSC) will give the league a west coast presence for the first time since 2005. The team, owned by security business expert entrepreneur, Damon Zumwalt, will focus on rostering some of the nation’s historical top NCAA performers while also prioritizing players that are familiar to the west coast market. Zumwalt, a former dual sport athlete at UCLA, competed in both football and wrestling for the Bruins, and went onto be inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame. No stranger to successful entrepreneurship, Zumwalt, while still at UCLA, became the pioneer for peer security and crowd management, when he started Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC). CSC, now the market leader in event security planning, staffing and logistics for facilities around the United States, employs approximately 90,000 event staff professionals (dressed usually in their recognizable yellow windbreakers) working over 14,000 events annually. The CSC coverage includes NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, PGA, NASCAR, and over 120 Universities’ sports and entertainment events.  “I am pleased to have the ability and opportunity to contribute to enabling these talented young women to pursue softball at the professional level in the NPF, and I am specifically committed to promoting the addition of west coast teams, so that we can have a complete cross country competition,” commented Zumwalt. “There is plenty of talent to create a very, very strong league, and women’s softball is fun to watch with a great deal of action. One of my only regrets in life was not being able to compete on the world stage after college. That is unfortunately, and too often for women, not even an option. I am proud of my contribution to providing more opportunities for more women to continue their careers at the highest level of this sport.” “Adding a west coast team to the NPF is such a proud moment for the NPF, and doing it in a year where softball will also have the Olympic spotlight shining upon it, is special,” stated NPF Commissioner, Cheri Kempf. “This is a capable ownership in Damon Zumwalt, with a passionate commitment to the sport of softball and the players who play it. I am sure Damon and his assembled staff will put together a highly competitive team to represent the deep rooted success that has always lived in west coast softball.”
