The City of Florence Parks & Leisure Services Department, under a consolidation agreement with Florence County and in association with the Florence Softball Association sponsors a girls youth softball program in the Florence area.

All ages are determined as of June 30 of each year.

Registration for youth softball is held in February of each year. Fees vary according to the division the participant will play in.
