Findlay, Ohio (October 11, 2021) – The International Softball Congress (ISC) and our partners at Visit Quad Cities are pleased to confirm the 2022 ISC World Tournament will be played at the Greenvalley Sports Complex in Moline, IL. The 76th ISC World Tournament takes place August 13-20, 2022.

 

 

Return to Moline
  

 

“We’re very happy to return to the Greenvalley Sports Complex in 2022 and partner with Lynn Hunt and Visit Quad Cities once again,” said ISC Executive Director Larry Fisher. “Especially after Visit Quad Cities did such a fantastic job of ‘stepping up’ last year allowing the ISC to celebrate its 75th Anniversary on the fields of Sheridan Meadow Complex in Eldridge, Iowa.”


“Visit Quad Cities looks forward to hosting the 2022 ISC World Tournament at Greenvalley Sports Complex,” said Dave Herrell, President and CEO, Visit Quad Cities. “The ISC delivers for our sports tourism goals and objectives, and it was our honor to host their 75th Anniversary this past August in Eldridge, Iowa. Having this event back-to-back is a great opportunity to showcase the QC and welcome these world-class athletes to Moline, IL.”


“The City of Moline is excited to host the ISC World Tournament in 2022 and we are eager to bring back world-class athletics to the Quad Cities,” said Eric Griffith, Parks & Recreation Director, City of Moline Parks and Recreation. “The versatility of Greenvalley Sports Complex with the various field sizes can host an array of tournaments from local softball tournaments all the way up to the ISC World Tournament.” 

With travel restrictions hopefully continuing to be loosened as the global pandemic further recedes, the ISC is expecting to have a full complement of 36 teams with another 12-16 in the Legends division at the 2022 World Tournament.

Greenvalley Sports Complex hosted the World Tournament in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2016. New high caliber lights were installed at the complex prior to the 2016 event.


Amanda Bolt, Recreation Coordinator for the City of Moline, will work with Visit Quad Cities to create the energy fans enjoyed previously at the Moline complex, and to get the fields and crews ready for another world class event in 2022. 


Visit Quad Cities will secure special rates at Quad Cities hotels, and the ISC encourages teams and fans to wait until that information is posted on the ISC website at www.iscfastpitch.com in the coming weeks.

Yuya Tamawaki – Precision and Persistence on the Mound

By Brian Eradus • May 13, 2025
At 32 years old, Yuya Tamawaki continues to rise in the fastpitch ranks as a key pitcher for the Georgian Bay Giants . Returning for another ISC season, Yuya isn’t just focused on controlling the game from the mound—he’s also determined to contribute at the plate and build on his team's past performance. Early Start and Family Influence Yuya’s love for fastpitch was born early. “I started playing when I was eight,” he says, “because my father played softball. He inspired me to get into the sport and pursue it seriously.” That early family connection helped lay the foundation for a disciplined and focused athlete. Yuya’s biggest mentor? Former national pitcher Nobunori Nishimura , whose influence helped Yuya develop both technically and mentally. The ISC Experience Yuya first competed in the ISC World Tournament last year and described the experience as unforgettable. “The speed of the game and the intensity—it’s something you don’t get even in baseball,” he says. “It was an honor to compete against top players from around the world.” For ISC newcomers, Yuya offers thoughtful advice: “It’s okay to feel nervous, but try to relax. When you're enjoying the moment, you'll often perform your best.”  One of his most memorable ISC moments came simply from being on the field with elite talent from across the globe. “It was eye-opening to see the level of play up close.”
