| May 9, 2004 AuburnDan | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Allow multiwall bats for 70s and women?? We have a slow-pitch, senior rules, drop-in program starting, for 55+. We‚re too small to have a 70+ or a women‚s program. We have a number of skilled men playing in the 55 to 68 age group, no women or 70+. I am thinking of modifying the bat requirements for the 70+ and the women (it is a park CoRec program) to give them a better opportunity to hit on a par with the 55+ men, thus promoting participation. For the 55 to 69 men, I would still require a single-wall bat. For men over 70, and for women over 48, I would allow „hotter‰ multi-wall bats, to give them a chance for some more distance. I have played with men in their 80s and they have a hard time getting out of the infield. Comments, pro and con appreciated. Also, what do you think of a limit of 48+ for the women ˆ too high or too low? And, any multi-wall bats you would not permit? |
| March 25, 2004 AuburnDan | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: SENIOR SOFTBALL IN AUBURN, CA We are starting a softball program for seniors 55 and older here in Auburn, CA, located in the Sierra foothills. The format is drop-in, with teams chosen from players that come to the field Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting April 20 through October 28. The usual low impact senior softball rules apply. However, we will play a full 9 innings, and with the drop-in format, teams will usually be 11 on a side. That means you‚ll play the field every inning and you‚ll bat more than you will in a league. We don‚t keep standings and batting averages, so the pressures and demands of a league are eliminated. You can relax and enjoy the game. League players are invited to participate and sharpen their skills. The price is right, too; just $25 for the entire season. For further information, reply to this message, or call the Auburn Recreation District at (530) 885-8461, ext 0. Registration is required. |
