If you haven't seen the softball complex at Saddlebrook, you are in for a treat. It is really beautiful. We just had our softball field, dugouts, bathrooms et al renovated at Paradise. We have stands and picnic tables with grills.
This is from The Villages Community Development Districts: The Villages Recreation Department manages nine softball fields at three separate locations. Two locations, Saddlebrook and Buffalo Glen, have fully stocked concession stands that are open during league play.
1. What type of softball leagues are offered in The Villages?
a. Recreation Leagues
Recreation leagues play twice a week Monday through Friday. Recreation leagues offer players of all abilities to play in a fun competitive environment. There are three softball seasons per year; fall, winter, and summer. For exact season dates please visit the softball season dates page.

Neighborhood leagues play each Saturday. Neighborhood leagues
are made to build camaraderie within the neighborhood of the residents participating from the same or nearby neighborhood. The recreation department provides single walled aluminum bats for
the neighborhood softball leagues. There are three softball leagues per year; fall, winter, and summer. For exact season dates please visit the

Travel leagues are leagues that are non-recreation sponsored
leagues. These leagues play 1 to 2 times per week depended on the league. These leagues are formed and implemented by residents of The Villages. Each player in these leagues must sign a waiver of liability and a Recreation Department code of conduct. Travel league seasons vary from league to league. Please contact the Saddlebrook Recreation Center or a travel league representative for league dates and times.
