How Four One Sports Is Helping Grow Professional Softball

Growing the game of softball at the pro level has been a hot topic in this country for quite some time. While there are always obstacles to overcome, and a lot that goes into starting a league or even a team, one huge thing that is always at the center is financial support.

The Professional Softball League is nearing the launch of the new league with each day, and individual teams are in the process of not only putting together rosters, but also seeking sponsorships and partnerships that want to help grow professional softball.

Florida Heat’s owner and Head Coach Ricky Bumgardner Jr. is putting his own business, Four One Sports, in the center of helping make the dream come true for professional softball players.

You may have seen Ricky on the Mays Sports Media Podcast with me in the last several weeks, as we welcome guests and discuss different topics across the game. Four One Sports is his brand that covers a variety of needs for not only softball, but baseball as well. Whether it is hats, visors, batting gloves, team uniforms, t-shirts, or softballs, Bumgardner Jr. and Four One Sports have it.

One great thing is if you order from his company, you are also supporting the Florida Heat, and the players that will suit up to play this summer. Yes, your money that you spend through Four One Sports goes directly to helping the players’ salaries. That is a huge help to the game, and to the players that dream of playing professional softball.

I respect Bumgardner’s approach in this method to help drive the needs of the players on his team. We all want to see players have opportunities to play past college, and professional softball in this country is not widespread like other sports are. So, if you find yourself needing those items mentioned above, don’t hesitate to give Four One Sports a shot.

Your money is going to something greater and it isn’t just lining Ricky’s pockets. It is helping support these women that have worked hard to have a shot at professional softball.

“At Four One Sports, every purchase has a purpose, and that purpose is rooted in faith, community, and service. A portion of every sale goes directly back into supporting the Florida Heat Professional Softball team and helping grow the game the right way. From team orders like Cross batting gloves, lineup cards, socks, belts, and fully customized fielding gloves, each item represents more than performance — it represents stewardship, unity, and giving back. We believe God has called us to use this platform to serve others, invest in our athletes, and build a community that reflects integrity, excellence, and faith. When you support Four One Sports, you’re helping the Florida Heat grow on and off the field.”

If your business would like to get in on the front of supporting the Florida Heat’s professional softball team, reach out to Ricky Bumgardner Jr. He would love to have a conversation and discuss different ways to support the Heat.
