| Jan. 2, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | SSUSA FOLKS The Tornado's would like to express our appreciation to all of the SSUSA folks (Terry, Fran, Dave, George, Ray, everbody) on what a great job they do for Senior Softball. They are the best!!! We need a SSUSA Qaulifer in San Antonio. Happy New Year |
| Jan. 2, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | capt,get with Keith and give him some info on where he could have one down there. |
| Jan. 3, 2011 LP 317 posts | just keep in mind capt kirk that this year the 60's all ssusa tournaments start on fridays and thats sure going to stop some teams from going to to many tournaments i'm thinking i know it will us. |
| Jan. 3, 2011 pitcher55 Men's 55 130 posts | if a tourney director,would be interested in holding a tourney in mammoth lakes,ca.elevation 8k,3 field complex,let me know.i've ran 24 tourney's there and have retired from that.the deal is exellent. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | Capt. K. problem San Antonio doesn't have a complex big enough to hold a THC with all division playing. They may have to look at how the Fla Half century does it. With 50&65 playing one weekend and 55,60 & 70+ playing another another, both are normally played at two diffent locations, hosted by one of the local teams in team with FHC. This is done without playing on friday. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | what about the army base (sam houston),i think)we used to play on down there,is it still avail to use. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | Mass expand at Ft. Sam has caused three fields to be no more. They are very limited on space, you should see all the new buildings. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | JB, that is an excellent suggestions on how to accomdate all teams with limited # of playing fields. THC has hosted a tournament in Boerne, TX for last three (3) years I know that Boerne is not on their schedule for 2011, I don't know if they would setup there on separate weekends, but a great idea. Also, our team enjoyed playing in Georgetown in May to get ready for the Texas State Championship in June. San Antonio needs a softball complex that will support senior softball tournaments, min. of a four (4) field complex that meets SSUSA Field Specs. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | Problem is Keith and Larry have limited help and to do each tournament on two weekends would drive them crazy, part because they both still play but mostly lack of help. THC would have to get help at each site by a host team to do it and I don't know if they are ready to move in that direction. Last year's Boerne tourney just about killed any chance of going back there, most teams don't what to go back because what happen last year. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | JB,getting a host team would be nice,they could give that team a price break for that tourney.i do know tyler has a 5 field complex that would work,along with a 4 field in longview,longview's prol tho is short fences with a ditch and trees behind the fences on 2 of the fields.longview would be great for the older groups. SA doesn't have any complexs with at least 4 fields,what about Time Warner. |
| Jan. 4, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | 8 great fields but super costly for the fields plus you have to use their umpires and balls which are real expensive. Ava Joe fence are to short for sr bats. |
| Jan. 5, 2011 doker Men's 60 185 posts | HEY JOHN,MADDOG AND GARY....WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A TOURNEY IN AUSTIN AT KRIEG????? 8PLUS FIELDS AND ALL HAVE BEEN REDONE OVER THE SUMMER....SHUD BE IN GREAT SHAPE AT LEAST FOR A WHILE UNTIL GROUNDS CREW SCREWS THEM UP.....GARY,KENNY AND I WILL LOOK INTO THE COST TO SEE IF IT IS FEASABLE...ALOT CLOSER FOR U GUYS IN SAT THAN GEORGETOWN....DOKER |
| Jan. 5, 2011 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | Doker, only thing I can think at georgetown gives THC a better deal than Kreig does?? Guess that is a Keith and Larry question. Good luck in Florida I'm pulling for you guys. |
| Jan. 5, 2011 J R 251 posts | I asked about tournaments in Texas. Fran said Fidel has been asking to run a tournament in Austin. I want to run one in Houston [or Baytown]. She said Keith was in charge of our region. Austin and Houston should have tournaments. |
| Jan. 5, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | DOKER,has krieg got done renovating.i know it was closed down.we have played there before with ssusa,the first year.i remember 3 teams all tied for first,one hell of a tie breaker trying to get it straight...LOL..actually austin area has a few complexes we could use right. JR,that would be nice also(houston). |
| Jan. 5, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | mad dog, We start playing there again Jan. 30th. They looked great !!! |
| Jan. 5, 2011 LP 317 posts | Fidel sais he is looking into doing some NSA senior softball there around austin i would rather play SSUSA but not on fridays like the THC wants to do. w will have to wait and see who does what to get started. |
| Jan. 5, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | LP, Fidel is a good guy, but his tournaments are not ran right. We have gotten screwed more than once, may try one again and see if there any better than they were. I am thinking of getting with Tanel and doing a TEXAS CHAMPIONSHIP here in Austin. If it goes, will be real umpires and GREAT PRIZES............MORE TO COME. Let me know if teams would be interested and I will get to work on it ! |
| Jan. 5, 2011 Capt Kirk 541 posts | #6, our team would be interested in playing, would the great prizes be a case of Bud light and a Tanel visor? Gary R. Kirk Mgr, Texas Tornado's |
| Jan. 5, 2011 J R 251 posts | NSA tournaments are good 47 core balls but not ultras. I need to call Fran and plead our case. I would be glad to come to Austin and help. I have a Daughter in Bee Caves I have recovered from knee replacement and not playing on a tournament team |
