Welcome to the site of America's Finest City Softball League.

America’s Finest City Softball League (“AFCSL”) was formed in 1981 as a place for Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender people to come together and play softball.  Over the years and with its’ continued years of growth, the AFCSL is now a place for all to come and have fun, meet new people and enjoy the game of softball.  And as a sporting organization, our intention is general safety first with our league rules and regulations.

Softball in San Diego is a year round sport. The AFCSL is host its’ main Spring season, to a more relaxed Fall season, and also the proud host of the Autumn Classic Tournament which takes place over Columbus weekend.  

The AFCSL is a member of the North American Amateur Athletic Association (“NAGAAA”) for the Open Division, and member of Amateur Sports Alliance of North America (ASANA) for the Women's Division. Both will be hosting the Softball World Series (not Gay Softball World Series). 

San Diego has been the host city for this national tournament both in 1997 and 2005.

As a voluntary participation organization, the AFCSL is not responsible for forming teams for play.  Our new player recruitment days are intended as an introduction for new players to softball and to the AFCSL.
