Lake Charles Softball Little League is a girls fast pitch league in Lake Charles, Louisiana. We are a 501(c) organization that is organized and run by a Board of Directors and dedicated volunteers within the community. We offer girls ages 4-18 living in Cameron Parish and most of Calcasieu Parish the opportunity to play Fast Pitch Softball in a positive yet competitive setting. We are located in the heart of the City of Lake Charles and play all our games at the College Oak Softball Complex on Ernest Street.
We provide players with mentoring programs to develop self esteem, training programs to develop skill, a competitive spring season, a summer development season, a fall out reach program with McNeese Softball, tournament teams with Lake Charles Ice, and we compete in Little League's yearly All Star Tournament in the District, State, Region and World wide levels. We are dedicated to providing a program that not only serves our most advanced players but also serves girls at the beginner level. Our Coaches and Board Members are dedicated to providing a program for young girls that not only focuses on their athletic growth but their social growth as well. Youth sports is not only great for physical health but also promotes team work, leadership skills, confidence, and discipline. Youth sports provides a unique opportunity for adolescent physical and mental healthy which leads to strong women for our future.

Little League Softball® was established in 1974 and today 360,000 athletes participate on more than 24,000 softball teams in over 20 countries. Softball initially began with only two divisions, Little League® and Big League, but now offers programs for girls ages 4 through 18. Every year, local Little Leagues enroll players within their boundaries to create teams and play a regular season against neighboring communities. In June, leagues have the opportunity to select and enter all-star teams to compete in the Little League International Tournament.
Little League Softball currently operates seven tournament divisions as part of the International Tournament where teams must play to advance through District, Section, State, Region and World Series tournaments. Four divisions culminate at a Softball World Series where athletes will make lasting memories, create life-long friendships, compete against the best teams from nine US and International regions and one league will be crowned World Champions. In addition to each World Series championship televised on ESPN’s family of networks, the Little League, Senior League and Big League semi-finals are also broadcasted.
Aside from teaching the sport of softball, Little League prides itself on strengthening player self-esteem, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship, and developing leaders.
