Medford celebrates sports by rekindling the love of the game, however you define it, because we emphasize the joy in competition. The abundance of world-class natural and traditional venues in our backyard combined with being centrally located on the West Coast offers visitors access of all forms of play, all-year long.
There are many places one can go to play a tournament, run a trail or hit a ball, but Medford is the place to come for those seeking more. More athletic facilities. More outdoor adventures. More sunny days. More things to do on your down time. To truly play – on and off the field, court or trail – Medford is Your Sportground, Where the West Coast Plays™.
Mail Tribune, July 2022
In an agreement announced Tuesday morning, the SOSC, Travel Medford and USA Softball have formed an initial three-year partnership to push the Know Your Role campaign nationally. The effort is aimed at educating all parties involved in youth sports — athletes, coaches, parents and fans — about appropriate behavior directed toward officials and umpires.

That message of "You can be an athlete, a coach, a parent or an official, but you only get to be one — Know Your Role" was created by the SOSC in partnership with Travel Medford, with the goal of changing the trend of negative culture at local sporting events at the youth level. Now, it has been adopted nationally, spreading the message of positive sportsmanship and the love of the game.
