Spring Sports
Once spring has sprung in Tallahassee, it's time to brush off the dust and hit the diamond! And going right along with Softball and Baseball, we even throw in Adult Flag Football so people can run around even more in the warming air. Of course, spring weather is also perfect for Golf and Tennis.
2024 Recreational Youth Softball Program
The City of Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Youth Softball Program is for ages 6-13. A coed t-ball program is offered for players 4-6 years of age. 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 registration fee of the child on the team coached by a parent will be waived. If interested in coaching, please contact the program supervisor.
