NCAA D3
WINTER HAVEN / BARTOW
Our largest group of teams will be split between Polk and Lake County. Teams will typically play at either:
DiamondPlex (Winter Haven)
and
Miss Bartow Softball Complex (Bartow)
or
Legends Way Ballfields (Clermont)
and Hancock Park (Clermont)
but we schedule based on coach preference so if your team needs to play another team in another city - we make it happen!
Be sure to pay close attention to your team’s SCHEDULE when booking housing and coordinating travel. Complete our Fan Housing Questionnaire if you’d like to be kept “in the know” as new housing options come to the market or if you’d like one of our staff to help you coordinate with your team’s plans.

Winter Haven – Lakes, Leisure & Family Fun
Welcome to Winter Haven, where life flows as smoothly as the waters that connect our famous Chain of Lakes. With over 50 sparkling lakes linked by scenic canals, Winter Haven is a paradise for boaters, kayakers, and sunset seekers. Whether you're enjoying waterfront dining, cruising on a pontoon, or paddleboarding at sunrise, the lake life here is unbeatable.
Home to the beloved LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, Winter Haven is perfect for families, yet still offers grown-up pleasures — from live music and art strolls to craft breweries and lakeside festivals. Our lively downtown invites you to explore local boutiques, dine al fresco, and unwind in a city that blends small-town warmth with modern charm.
Bartow – Rich in History, Full of Heart
Just minutes from Winter Haven, Bartow offers a slower pace and a deep sense of heritage. Known for its oak-lined streets and stately historic homes, Bartow is a place where Florida’s past is preserved and proudly celebrated. Explore the beautifully restored Polk County History Center, browse antique shops, and discover local art around every corner.
Bartow is also a hub of community events — from classic car shows to the vibrant Bloomin’ Arts Festival, there’s always something to experience. It's a city where people know your name, and Southern hospitality is more than a saying — it’s a way of life.
