If after reading the requirements below, you are interested in becoming a member of Miss Florida Softball, please email [email protected]. Youth fastpitch recreational softball leagues only. No individual teams, and no travel teams or outside organizations allowed. We typically have a waiting list, so there may not always be an opening.
Youth Fastpitch Softball League requirements in order to preserve and protect ALL league, and the integrity of recreational softball, as a whole.
No registered rec team within your league may register and/or participate in travel tournaments throughout the season, any sanction.
No travel coaches (that also coach rec) can draft more than 4 players from their travel team on their rec team for the season.
No more than 40% of travel pitchers and/or catchers per team in the division, unless they are spread out evenly amongst all teams in the division of that league. IF the league is small, and/or has 60% or more of travel players on the team, even when spread out amongst all rec teams in the league, that team is NOT able to participate in mid-season tournament, but those players may participate in all-stars.
Game requirements for players are 2/3 of the season, or 10 games.
Excel format export of entire league rosters with first and last name a birth dates are required to be submitted 48 hours after your league drafts their teams.
Prior to the all-star tournament, ALL participating leagues join together to verify birth certificates and game counts from team scorebooks from opposing leagues, at a required in person.
Leagues must have at least 1 rec team that participates in mid season to participate in all-stars.
Fees/cost: $150 spring league fee up front to apply/register/sanction with Miss Florida, plus a $25 per league team ransom fee (whether they participate in mid season or not). $225 per team for midseason registered (2 game guarantee - location rotates amongst qualified participating leagues); $450 per team for all-star tournament. Prices may vary - this is a budget guess for next season, based on locations. Fees will be confirmed before the start of spring season at the time of registration for Miss Florida.
Dates: Mid-season tournament will typically be the weekend before or after the Easter holiday. All-star tournament will typically be the week or two after Memorial Day. Both tournaments are Friday-Sunday; Friday night games are 7pm and 8:30pm. Leagues required to play Friday evening will be announced early in the Spring season, based on host location.
