**Celebrating 20 years of THE ULTIMATE collegiate softball experience . . .**

Collegiate softball teams have been coming to Central Florida since 1976 when Marge Ricker, the owner of the Orlando Rebels, invited northern teams to play her pro team. Since then, a 1976 Rebel, young Dot Richardson, took the reigns of her head coach and founded THE Spring Games - TSG - in 2008. THE Spring Games has hosted over 225 collegiate softball teams annually since 2014 and hosts over 1,100 games each spring in Central Florida. THE Spring Games is softball player owned and operated and always has been. In 2027, we celebrate the twenty years of THE Spring Games!

“I’m incredibly excited and blessed to continue the legacy of excellence at THE Spring Games. Our staff is honored to serve the college softball coaches, teams, umpires, and fans who make this event so special. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our Emerald 20th Anniversary and celebrate two decades of competitive spirit, community, and excellence. We’re looking forward to making this year our best yet and serving you even better!”
- Dr. Dot Richardson
2x Olympic Gold Medalist
1975-1983 Orlando Rebel
