 PLAY BALL!  The park says the fields look good.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow... six more weeks of winter!

 

If the board had just approved the $3000 I asked for, we could have our own groundhog to predict when winter will end.  Alas!

With the weather getting colder, it may be time to think about BASKETBALL!  Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2:00PM at the Fairfield Glade gym.

Do you have shipping needs? SKD Print, Pack and Ship is owned and operated by one of our players, Blaine Dorn. It's located right by Kroger's.  Stop in and say 'hi.' The SKD website is: https://www.skdprintpakship.com/

 

Many of you know that Mark Moritz is filming the games.  I've looked at some of them and believe me, they are riveting!!!

They are on youTube and Facebook. Do a search for "Crossville Senior Softball."

For you new guys and girls:

We play at the Warner Complex at Centenial Park in Crossville. It's located at 837 Industrial Boulevard, Crossville, TN 38555

 

The New Senior Softball Board has been created. These are the members:

Ted Meadows, Joe Reali, Tim Hewitt, Jeff Senten, Mark Moritz, John Koerber.

Ted Meadows has stepped down as President and Tim Hewitt has volunteered to take his place. Joe Reali remains as Treasurer #1 and Jeff Senten has volunteered as Treasurer #2,
maintaining two signers on the checking account. 

The first order of business is exploring ways to attract more players.  Stay tuned.

In the event of an emergency, call 911 and give them the location as "CP WC."  These signs are posted on all the fields.

$20 Voluntary Contribution to Support Softball

In order to support our Monday/Thursday Senior Softball, we need bats, balls, first aid items, and other equipment.  Since we do not have a sponsor, you are requested to contribute $20 at the beginning of each season to help defray costs.  This is strictly voluntary.  Softball board member, Ted Meadows, will collect contributions and deposit them in our Bank Account.  Optionally, players on TN State Olympic teams can give their $20 to their team captains.  Once again this is voluntary, and no giving records will be kept.  The City of Crossville has been very generous to Senior Softball over the years.  In addition to giving us free access to our beautiful softball facilities at Centennial Park and Garrision Park, they pay our fees to participate in the State Senior Games in Franklin, TN.  Hopefully, we can all do our part to keep Senior Softball alive.

New Player Age Rules

On March 20, 2017 leadership of Crossville Men's Senior Softball League decided to lower the new player eligibility age.

(1) To be eligible to participate a player must reach the age of 50 prior to Dec. 31 in the year of first participation in the league.

(2) Any current players that may not meet these age requirements are grandfathered-in, and may continue to play.

(3) The eligibility rule does not apply to any ladies who may wish to play in our league.

(4) In the future, on any play dates when we have 32 or more players and can have four teams, we will make every effort to divide players so that players below 70 may compete with players in their peer age group while players 70 and over may likewise compete against their peers.

The sole objective of these rules is safety.
