Austin Grizzlies - Dallas Tournament 2025

Softball Austin was established in 2004 to offer the Central Texas LGBTQ+ community and our allies the opportunity to enjoy recreational softball in a safe, competitive, and inclusive environment. We welcome members of all skill levels!

We offer a Spring and Fall season with both Open (all genders) and Women’s Divisions, following modified USA Softball rules.

Softball Austin is a proud member of iPride Softball, the Amateur Sports Alliance of North America (ASANA), and the USA Softball. As members, we are allowed to send teams that compete in the spring season to the iPride Softball World Series (GSWS), ASANA World Series (SWS), and iPride Cup.

Off the field, Softball Austin and its teams host social events and participate in community events year-round. There is always something happening in our Softball Austin family.

We have over 400 members, with countless volunteers and fans, and we are proud to have created “a league of our own.”

Named 2016 “Best LGBTQ Sports League” by the Austin Chronicle.
