THE SPRING GAMES 2021 GAME DAY GUIDE
WELCOME TO LEESBURG! Sleepy Hollow Sports Complex and the City of Leesburg would like to welcome you to a one-of-a-kind sporting event! THE Spring Games hosts hundreds of teams every year and in 2021 we are creating an environment for teams unlike any other! Our “bubble” creates a safe place for teams to play without possibly spreading the coronavirus and allows for fans to watch their teams from a safe distance. So sit back, enjoy the games, and make sure to stop by the many great restaurants and attractions in Leesburg and Lake County! While attending the games, we ask that you maintain social distancing and do not, under any circumstances, try to interact with players or coaches. We are trying to preserve the college softball season and your help is greatly appreciated!

THE SPRING GAMES 2021 GAME DAY GUIDE
ABOUT THE SPRING GAMES Marge Ricker, known for her coaching years with the Orlando Rebels, began the Rebel Games in 1976. An event catered to northern softball teams with nowhere to play during the frigid months of February and March back home did not exist so Coach Ricker brought in northern college softball teams and professional women’s fastpitch teams in order to give them a place to play in sunny Central Florida! One player on her roster in 1976 was 16-year-old Dot Richardson. Richardson, the founder of THE Spring Games, would go on to have a stellar softball career playing and winning a national title at the University of California at Los Angeles and winning the gold medal for the United States in both 1996 and 2000. In 2007, Coach Ricker sold the Rebel Games and many teams were left without a home. In 2008, the first year of the modern Spring Games, forty-eight teams were involved from the Division III level. Every year, the games have grown both in popularity and quality. Over time Division I, II, NAIA, and Junior College teams were added to the schedule. In 2020, 508 teams were slated to come to Central Florida and play over 2,500 games in what is, undoubtedly, THE WORLD’S LARGEST COLLEGE SOFTBALL EVENT!
