About Softball
Mandarin Sports Association (MSA) of Jacksonville is the original organization for youth girls softball for Mandarin and its surrounding areas. We offer two youth girls softball seasons each year – Spring and Fall. Following the Spring Season, All-Star teams are formed in most age divisions. Our Mandarin youth girls softball home games are primarily played at Palmetto Leaves park in Jacksonville. All age groups play within a coalition of nearby associations and may travel to other parks to play some games.
You can register online or in-person on certain dates in the registration period. See the Latest News section of our website for onsite registration dates.
Practices are typically two days a week for 1:30 – 1:45 and start as soon as teams as formed. Games are typically two days a week. Practice time after games start is at the coach’s discretion.
