PRACTICE   

Practice Sessions:  Every Wednesday morning at 10:00 A.M. during the "off" months there is practice for those who wish to keep their arms in shape and their fielding sharp.  Practice is outside on the McCord diamonds until the weather turns bad, then it's inside the Worthington Community Center in the South Gym during the cold and snowy months.  This practice program is very popular and a fine way to spend a Wednesday morning.  Bring your glove and join in.  There is no charge for this program and it is open to any senior man (50 & up), or woman (40 & Up) whether a member of a team or not. 

 
TOURNAMENT TEAMS   

Senior Softball players are encouraged to take an interest in playing tournament softball.  All players are invited to become a part of the program.  

Senior Women's Teams:

A senior women's team is being formed and will enter tournament play during the 2008 season.  Any ladies who will be 40 years old in 2008 are eligible to play Senior Women's Softball.  Call Judy Andrews, COSSA Director of Women's Operations: (614)466-5474, or e-mail her: jca_andrews@yahoo.com.
