Missi

Dixie Youth Softball is celebrating 50 years of teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship. 

On Friday, June 27, 2025, the Florida Dixie Youth Softball Tournament kicked off at the Belleview Sportsplex, located at 6501 SE 107th Street in Belleview. The tournament continued through Sunday, June 30, 2025. 

The 2025 Dixie Softball World Series will be held in Ruston, Louisiana, with the winning teams arriving there on July 25, 2025. 

The girls competing in the Florida Dixie Youth Softball Tournament worked hard under the scorching sun to make their teams, coaches, fans, and families proud—and they succeeded, all while having a great time. 

Florida Dixie Youth Softball includes girls ages 4 through 18. The program emphasizes recreation and participation for as many girls as possible, focusing primarily on local leagues. Divisions are typically based on age, with common groupings such as Darlings (7-8), Angels (9-10), and Ponytails (11-12).

Though they just missed making the World Series, this incredible team gave their all, made new friendships, and had a blast on the field. Huge thanks to everyone who donated and supported these girls with new equipment and an unforgettable experience!
