Florida Babe Ruth Softball is part of the national Babe Ruth League — a non-profit educational organization dedicated to serving all youth. Local leagues are divided into 12 districts throughout the state, each with an elected District Commissioner to support our mission.

We believe softball is more than a sport. It's a platform for young women to develop confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships.

Safety First
Babe Ruth League requires the most comprehensive background screening and abuse prevention training in youth sports.
Community
We unite players, families, coaches, and volunteers across Florida in a shared love of the game.
Excellence
From tee ball to the World Series, we give every player a clear path to compete at the highest level.
