• To establish uniform softball rules and regulations.
• To provide it with proper safeguards in accordance with the spirit of true sportsmanship.
• To encourage the union of all eligible teams, organizations, or groups into such separate associations with active membership and representation in USAFL as may from time to time be deemed best adapted to advance the cause of amateur softball.
• To establish and maintain by allied membership, alliances with associations devoted wholly or partially to the promotion of the game of amateur softball.
• To promote and conduct annual amateur softball championships.
• To educate and train in the proper skills of amateur softball play and rules of the game through promoting, organizing, and conducting clinics, seminars, and training courses.
