Think spring! Senior softball players wanted

Ocean County’s largest senior softball organization is recruiting players for next spring and summer.

“This is not your father’s kind of softball,” according to Commissioner Steve Issman. “Players may be up in years, but they compete enthusiastically and skillfully. They come from LBI, Jackson and everywhere in between.”

This year more than 150 men participated in the Berkeley Senior Softball League. Starting next April and ending in August, at least eight teams will play on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Games take place in Holiday City’s Whispering Pines Park and in Bayville’s Veterans Park, next to Central Regional High School.

The league is currently beginning its outreach for additional men and women, because some Ocean County residents may be spending the winter in the south, others will turn 60 years old by spring, and some are moving into the area.

“We welcome anyone who wants to enjoy a healthy, fun-filled activity,” Issman said. “Interested players should call me now at 914-588-2714 for more information and to pre-register for our 2016 teams.”
