Excellence, Community, Sportsmanship & Acceptance
The Emerald City Softball Association (ECSA) is an established softball league in Seattle, Washington and has been operating as such for over 30 years. Bud Light has been a long time sponsor of ECSA. We also have added (2) new sponsors in 2012 Absolut and Sterling Athletics - we thank them all for their support and partnership.
ECSA not only stands for Emerald City Softball Association but is an acronym that represents aspects of what our league embraces: Excellence, Community, Sportsmanship & Acceptance. Our focus is to provide a softball league that includes GLBT and non GLBT members and creates a unique community of excellence, sportsmanship & acceptance for playing softball. Membership in ECSA is open to anyone 18 years of age or older.
The league has (4) different Divisions (A, B, C & D). These Divisions include a place for everyone from advanced players to someone who has never played softball before. The Division that a player is allowed to play in is determined by use of a player rating system established by the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA). The Emerald City Softball Association is a member of NAGAAA. The ECSA season generally starts in April and runs into June or July of each year. We also have a Fall Ball Season that starts in September and goes into October.
