2026 Florida State Softball Championships

2026 Babe Ruth State Tournament Gift Bag Exchange Schedule:  Please make sure that you prepare and give gifts that represent your league/area. Take the time to put together something that you know that your own team players would like to receive. In years past we've had issues with some not putting much time or effort in thought or time in preparing and others that go above and beyond....please don't be "THAT" team we talk about all year long that fails!

Suggestions and ideas:  personal drink coolers, pull-string bags, drink bottles, hair bows/ribbons, personalized team items, beach towels/products, etc....of course sunflower seeds, bubble gum, candy *(NO CHOCOLATE)!  As a nice gesture...remember the coaches as well....they are a BIG part of the team as well.  Team counts...max of 15 players and 4 coaches and possible batgirl/boy! 

***NOTE: Please do not forget to bring these. This has been a longstanding tradition and all participants—players & coaches—always enjoy receiving them.
