  If there is one spectator sport that always seems "right-at-home" in Batesburg-Leesville, it's baseball. "The Dixie Youth League" teams are sponsored through the local efforts of the Batesburg-Leesville Youth Sports and host a large number of boys and girls teams during the season. The participation among different age groups is excellent, and the support offered by parents, grandparents and friends fills the bleachers every game night. The Batesburg-Leesville Youth Sports also sponsors many rec-league soccer teams, for a variety of age groups. Many of these teams have enjoyed outstanding success at the county and statewide level for the last several years. The Batesburg-Leesville Youth Sports board of directors meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the B-L Leisure Center. Anyone that would like to attend the meetings are invited to come.

  Our proximity to nearby Lake Murray offers the water-sports enthusiast an endless variety of exciting options. Fishermen will enjoy one of the best-managed lakes in the entire Southeast, and Lake Murray serves as the host of several major tournaments held each year. Sailing and water-skiing enthusiasts will also enjoy the thrill of Lake Murray's big water, which is over three miles across at its widest point. Less ambitious boaters, who prefer just to take a leisurely cruise, will enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the lake's many quiet coves and over 500 miles of shoreline.
