KANSAS CITY, Kan. A new women’s professional sports team is coming to Kansas City. Their name is the KC Diamonds, and they are one of seven founding members of the Professional Softball League.

The seven inaugural teams include the Atlanta Smoke (Atlanta), Chattanooga Chill (Chattanooga, Tennessee), Florida Breeze (Tampa Bay, Florida), Florida Heat (Viera, Florida), Florida Vibe (Bradenton, Florida), KC Diamonds (Kansas City) and New York Rise (New York). Each team will carry a roster of 20 players.

The Diamonds’ season is set to start in early June and culminate with the playoffs in early August. Teams will play a 39-game schedule and feature 20 players.

The Diamonds will play their home games at Legends Field in Kansas City, Kansas (home field of the Kansas City Monarchs American Association baseball team).

“Facilities are such an important part of our game and what we have access to and our development,” Boggs said. “This is just a state-of-the-art facility.”
