The Juneau Softball Association (JSA) is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization that manages an adult slowpitch softball league for men, women, and coed teams in Juneau, AK. The organization is governed by a volunteer group of Board Members who represent their respective leagues and divisions. The organization’s activities are coordinated by a part-time Executive Director.

JSA establishes rules and regulations governing all member teams; engages in any activity or enterprise that will be beneficial to the members; coordinates the registration of players; and coordinates with the Department of Parks and Recreation of the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, in extending the recreational activities.
