Motion DNA Corporation (OTC: MTDX) officials announced today the company has entered negotiations with the National Pro FastPitch League. If approved, the league would become the first professional organization to endorse and support biomechanics testing of all athletes. Motion DNA would become the official biomechanical analysis company of the second year women's pro sports league. Under the agreement, Motion DNA would conduct at least one annual analysis on each member of the NPF's six teams, assisting in the overall development of each individual player and success of the league.

"The popularity of women's softball is at an all-time high," said Zig Ziegler, president of Motion DNA. "We believe this league will be successful quickly with the presence of more than half of the 2004 US Olympic Gold medalists in softball representing teams in the league, including Jennie Finch, Lovie Jung, Natasha Whatley and Crystal Bustos, all former top collegiate all-Americans as well."

Currently, more than six million youth girls, ages six to eighteen play softball in competitive and recreational programs in the United States alone.

"The NPF gives those girls a new target and can help increase the popularity of the sport as salaries of players increase and more playing opportunities evolve," said Lauren Bay, a member of the Canadian Olympic team, currently enrolled in a Motion DNA program and member of the NPF's Chicago Bandits.

Motion DNA expects a deal to be reached quickly, with the season scheduled to begin in late May. "We already have several NPF athletes training at our Scottsdale lab, benefiting from weekly analyses," added Ziegler. "Once we are able to kick off this relationship, we expect to see an increase in our college and youth sports team client base as more athletes pursue an edge over their competition."
