Recreational Youth Softball Program
The City of Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Youth Softball Program is for ages 6–13. A separate coed T-ball program is offered for players ages 4–6. All games may not be played at registration sites. Game sites will not be determined until all teams are finalized. In the event there are not enough teams at a park to form a league, parks may be combined with others to form a league. In most cases, practices will be held at the same location you register, unless otherwise directed.
Volunteer coaches are needed for the program. The City works with volunteer coaches to help coach all teams. The registration fee of the head coach’s child on the team will be waived. If interested in coaching, please contact us or check the interested in coaching prompt when registering your child.
