Does anyone ever got to "watch" people play softball? If so, where do you go? Are there "stands" to watch games anywhere? And…..how do you find out when/where games are being played?

Thanks!

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?
