About FORT CAROLINE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC

Fort Caroline Athletic Association (FCAA) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) youth sports organization based at Ed Austin Regional Park in Jacksonville, Florida that organizes baseball and softball programs and all-star play for children and teens. The league operates season-based programs (spring/fall), manages park/field maintenance at the FCAA site, and provides fee assistance and scholarships to families demonstrating need. FCAA is governed by an elected volunteer board and general board positions and is affiliated with SportsEngine/Babe Ruth League systems for registration, background screening, and coach credentialing. In recent years the league has added inclusive programming (Bambino Buddy Ball launched in 2022), continued regular seasonal play through 2024–2026, and maintained volunteer and City of Jacksonville volunteer-badge processes for coach and team volunteers.
