ACRAMENTO – The oldest and largest senior softball newspaper, Senior Softball News, begins publishing online in this edition.  There will be a limited print run for those players without access to the internet, or those who would like to purchase a paper copy of the newspaper.

“This change reflects the reality of our times: The great majority of our players and managers get their information via the internet,” said Terry Hennessy, editor of Senior Softball News.  “We will be sending an email with a link to the newspaper to players and managers, posting it for free download on our website, and making it available for those who would like to purchase a paper copy.”

The first edition of Senior Softball News was published in 1987 and it became the dominant source of news in the sport by the mid-1990s. Senior Softball News, which has a circulation of 30,000, is sent to all registered players and managers, sponsors and officials in the 70-plus cities in which Senior Softball-USA (SSUSA) holds tournaments.

SSUSA launched an electronic Newsletter last year that comes out every three weeks, providing timely coverage of tournaments, obituaries and breaking news.

Senior Softball News will continue to publish popular columns, editorials, stories on trends in the sports, as well as short wrap-ups of tournaments and lists of All Tournament players. 

Senior Softball News will come out in the Spring, Fall and Winter.  

SSUSA will continue publishing a paper edition of the Annual Tournament Guide and mail it to players and managers.
