| Posted | Discussion |
| June 22, 2013 bpono 6 posts | Softball for Santa Cruz, Ca I am moving to Santa Cruz, CA soon & would like to start a softball club for seniors. I currently play in Maui "Makule" Senior Softball League, which is 60+ and plays with a 14" ball. Anyone interested? Please e-mail me, bponomaui@comcast.net. |

| June 24, 2013 bpono 6 posts | I'm looking to form a local recreational level, not a tournament level program. I've checked w/ rec dept in SC & Capitola and as far as I know there is no local program for seniors. I know of No Dice, played against them years ago in fast pitch, haven't heard of SC Irregulars. I would like to start weekly or twice weekly workouts that may create interest in forming a league. I have some contacts from old playing days, but not enough to get anything going. |

See what kind of cooperation you get from the rec departments. In my observation, if you get a supportive rec director, then fields will be available during the week day, and maybe at night on a little used field, for a senior program. If you get the wrong person, then you can look forward to exorbitant costs for renting fields, no availability in the evening, etc., and a senior rec league just doesn't get done. Manager names and information for both clubs are available on Northern California Senior Softball Association's website at http://norcalseniorsoftball.com A call to them will likely let you know how cooperative local rec departments are. If positive, it may only take your committed effort to make a league happen! |
