FHSAA Partners with Seminole County and Greater Orlando Sports Commission for 2026 Softball State Championships
Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park in Seminole County will host the State Championship event for the second year in a row
ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2025) – The Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park in Longwood has been selected to host the 2026 Florida High School Softball State Championships. In partnership with Seminole County and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission (GO Sports), Florida’s best high school softball teams in 2026 will seek a conclusion to their season within the friendly confines of Seminole County. The 2026 championship event will feature 32 teams and take place from Tuesday, May 19 through Saturday, May 23.
Developed in 2017 and conveniently located in Longwood, Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park was built with championship softball in mind. The state-of-the-art complex boasts six natural turf fields, with one stadium-style for seating up to 1,000 spectators. The field and complex have already hosted multiple marquee events and elite tournaments, including the 2024 NCAA Division II Softball National Championships, making it an ideal location for the FHSAA State Championships.
In 2025, local teams from Hagerty, Winter Springs, Eustis, and Geneva each advanced to their division’s championship game. Winter Springs took home the 5A Championship, with Hagerty (7A), Eustis (3A), and Geneva (1A) all finishing as runners up.
“Our continued partnership with GO Sports and Seminole County reflects a shared commitment to providing first-class championship experiences for our member schools,” said Craig Damon, Executive Director of FHSAA. “Hosting the FHSAA Softball State Championships once again at Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park allows us to showcase an outstanding venue and create an environment where student-athletes, coaches, officials, and fans can celebrate the very best of high school softball. We’re excited for May and another memorable championship event.”
“Seminole County is thrilled to welcome back the FHSAA Softball State Championships for the second consecutive year,” said Seminole County Chairman Andria Herr. “Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park is the ideal venue for this championship event, and we are excited to welcome Florida’s top high school softball teams as the ladies compete for the opportunity to be crowned state champions.”
“We are proud to welcome the FHSAA Softball State Championships back to Boombah-Soldiers Creek Park in Seminole County and excited to build on the success we had hosting the 2025 Championships,” said Jason Siegel, President & CEO of the Greater Orlando Sports Commission. “GO Sports and Seminole County have a long-standing relationship with the FHSAA, and this event provides a meaningful opportunity to celebrate student-athletes from across the state of Florida. We look forward to once again working alongside the venue as well as our hotel and tourism partners to deliver a first-class championship experience for the players, coaches and families traveling to Seminole County.”
