“It is with a great deal of pleasure that I inform you that the Princess Anne Athletic Complex has been chosen as the 2016 Senior Softball-USA Complex of the Year.

The 8-field Princess Anne Athletic Complex not only has all of the amenities of a top-quality facility, ranging from excellent lighting and concessions to pristine fields, but your staff ensures that the facility stays in wonderful shape.
