How It Works
The Xtreme Program

The Xtreme Division is a state-wide initiative facilitated by District Commissioners in partnership with participating leagues. Leagues form Xtreme teams from eligible players rostered within their recreation softball program.

Teams compete throughout the Xtreme season, then are seeded by Win/Loss record to compete in a Championship Tournament at season's end. All Xtreme games are governed by Florida Babe Ruth Softball Tournament rules.

Players must be rostered in their league's recreation softball program to be eligible for Xtreme.
