The 2016 USSSA Military World Softball Tournament will be held in Augusta, Georgia on August 11-14 at Diamond Lakes Regional Park.

The 2016 USSSA Military World Softball Tournament will be hosted in Augusta for the first time by the Augusta Sports Council. This is the tournament's fifteenth year and is expecting to bring in over 1,500 athletes.

Dustin Roberts, USSSA National Military Program Director says, "This tournament embodies competitiveness, families and the support of local businesses. Over the years this tournament has become even more competitive with a family reunion feel. I'm completely humbled to be in the position of National Director for the Military USSSA program and I can't wait to see what the future holds."

Last year's tournament was in Columbus, Georgia and included 114 teams in Varsity A, B, Intramural, Women's, Coed and Men's categories. Twenty three states and Germany made up the competition at last year's tournament.

Stacie Adkins, CEO of the ASC says, "We are excited and honored that Diamond Lakes Regional Park has been selected to be the host venue for this tournament.  With our love for the military and our own Fort Gordon, we hope the Garden City embraces this event for many years to come."

The ASC expects an estimated $2,706,520.70 dollars in direct visitors spending from the softball tournament.
