What kind of ability level and time comittment are you talking? There is some insanely competitive girls softball played between Destin and Pensacola, and that region ususally has a couple of teams in the national top twenty rankings, and there are a lot of good feeder programs. Prime softball territory here frequently involves schools that feed into Pace, Navarre, Gulf Breeze, Choctawhatchee, Fort Walton Beach, or Niceville high schools.
In Walton County, Walton High School in DeFuniak Springs is the only team to make it to the state tournament in recent years.

thanks beachmouse. My girls are young, but competitve here. It is a strong self-confidence boost for them. I just love team sports for girls and will always encourage it. We have leagues/teams outside of school that start at t-ball and continue until 18. That is what I am interested in finding out now. It is good to know about the areas w/ strong programs as well although they are not close to sowal.

My daughter has been playing fastpitch softball with our Walton County Baseball League for the last 3 years and loves it. This year the girls had their own teams (instead of coed for the younger ones) starting with the little ones (kindergarten I think) on up to 12 year olds. They split them into 3 age groups and this year we played against other teams in our own league and those in Panama City Beach.
For those girls that are really into softball, there are a few travel teams in the area. My friend's child plays with a league in Panama City Beach, which isn't far if you're on the east end of 30A. Frank Brown Park in PCB is probably the biggest ballfield complex in the area and they have softball fields there. We have Helen McCall Park which has a total of 3 fields right now, one of which is softball. Destin has a big ball park, Morgan Field.
Also, the middle schools and the high school in SoWal all have good softball teams.
