2001 WPSL Draft

Before the Women's Pro Softball League (WPSL) decided to suspend play for the 2001 season, it held its regularly scheduled 2001 WPSL Senior Draft on December 2, 2000 at Adam's Mark Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk in conjunction with the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Convention.[1] As the league did not resume play until 2004, many draftees never played in the league. However, some did, even making an All-Star team.
