Senior softball players wanted

2 divisions: 60 & up and 65 & up. Register now. Games begin in Sept.

Ocean County’s largest autumn senior softball league is looking for a few more good men and women.

The “slow-pitch” but fast-paced organization is open to county residents age 60 and up.

Advance registration is required by August 4th. Last year the Berkeley Fall Senior Premier League had 108 participants on six teams.

Its Tuesday and Thursday morning doubleheaders will begin on September 8th at Whispering Pines Park in Holiday City, off Route 37, and at Veterans Park, next to Central Regional High School.

Each team will play 28 regular-season games, plus playoff games at the end of October. A $35 per-player fee will cover shirts, umpiring, secondary insurance and softballs.
