Here's how to watch the 2021 THE Spring Games on FloSoftball.

If she's done it once, she's done it a thousand times.

THE Spring Games is the World’s largest college softball event with collegiate teams from NCAA Divisions I, NAIA, and NJCAA teams participating from mid-February to the end of March. THE Spring Games will host over 300 games and is available to live stream or on video-on-demand exclusively on FloSoftball. 

The last weekend of February will feature the final round of matchups for THE 2021 Spring Games round-robin tournament brackets, with the weekend’s games held at the Legends Way Ballfields in Clermont, Florida. Kentucky, Stetson, and FIU will join New Mexico State, who saw action in the first round of Spring Games action earlier in the month.

Softball is a sport of constant adjustment whether it’s a coach positioning players in the field depending on a certain hitter’s tendencies or a batter adapting to an umpire’s strike zone or an outfielder learning the nuances of the walls at an opposing team’s stadium. Steve Babinski at Indiana Wesleyan believes the nature of the sport is a prime reason why softball players were able to handle the shutdown of the 2020 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic in a manageable way.

For two weekends in February, the fields in Leesburg, Florida will be the focal point for some of the top NCAA softball action in the country as the 2021 edition of THE Spring Games opens play.
