ABOUT SURF & SUN SOFTBALL

Welcome to the Heartbeat of Softball Fun: Surf & Sun!

At Surf & Sun, we're not just a softball league; we're a vibrant community where the thrill of the game meets the warmth of camaraderie. Nestled in the lively playgrounds of Orange County, we've created a safe and inviting space for the LGBTQIA+ community to swing for the fences and score unforgettable memories.

Unleash Your Potential on the World Stage

Surf and Sun is not just about local thrills; we're proud affiliates of NAGAAA (North American Gay Amateur Athletics Alliance) and ASANA (Amateur Sports Alliance of North America). What does that mean for you? It means the chance to shine on the World Series Tournament stage! Join us, and let's elevate your softball journey to new heights.

 

More than a Game, It's a Lifestyle

Beyond the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd, Surf & Sun is about forging connections, fostering inclusivity, and embracing the spirit of sportsmanship. We play for the love of the game, and every player is not just a teammate but a part of our softball family.
