Meeting Spaces NSA Girls World Series Cherry Park Since 1989 over 3,500 softball teams have competed in the National Softball Association’s Girls World Series at Cherry Park and other parks throughout York County in both slow and fast pitch softball, making it one of the largest national tournaments of each season. U.S. Disc Golf Championship Winthrop University Gold Disc Golf Course Borrowing ideas from the traditional game of golf, Harold Duvall and Jonathan Poole began planning an event that would shape the future of disc golf’s competitive scene. From those plans has grown the United States Disc Golf Championship. Through its unique structure, highly acclaimed course, and distinct qualifying procedure, the Championship has successfully established itself as one of disc golf’s most prestigious events in the country.
