New Turf Coming!!!

Founded in 2012 in Sanford, Florida, Central Florida Pride began with a single 10U baseball team. This team, despite early challenges, grew to become a powerhouse on a national level. Initially, they were a team begging for guest players, but soon they became the team everyone wanted to play for. Their uniforms were covered in stars and stripes from head to toe, making people turn their heads and wonder if they needed to salute. And what started as one team soon became two.

Our founder, U.S. Army Veteran Chad Lee, had a vision to create something more for our community. Where most people saw an abandoned car auction, he saw potential. Car lanes became batting cages, and the parking lot turned into fields. What started as one team then became three, and the rest is history. Today, we average 15-20 baseball and softball teams per season, each practicing at this private facility we call, The Dugout.

Central Florida Pride continues to teach players the way of hard-nosed, heads-up baseball and softball. When our players step onto the field, they embody dedication and determination, playing hard on every pitch. Our athletes, coaches, and families continue to promote our program and uphold our tradition of excellence in sports, community, and the American spirit.
