Try-outs for senior softball players Sat. April 11th

The county’s largest senior softball league has nearly 150 players from age 55 into their 80s. They participate in a healthy activity, having fun and being competitive on the diamond.

Additional Brick players are being sought for the Berkeley Senior Softball League, which includes residents of many Ocean County towns. Try-outs will be held on April 11th at Whispering Pines Park in Holiday City South.

There, and at Veterans Park in Bayville, the league’s spring-summer season will open on April 28th. The “slow-pitch” (but fast-paced) games will be played on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Spectators are welcome.

The minimum age is 60 for Brick and other county towns’ residents, but Berkeley players may be as young as 55 in their hometown league. Both men and women may participate, but last year all players were men.

A separate division for players born in 1950 and earlier will play doubleheaders on Friday mornings. It has no county residency requirement.

Information about pre-registration for the April 11th try-outs is available at 732-300-9524.
