The Sun Lakes Senior Softball League’s fall season’s 60-game schedule ends on December 17. Each of our six teams will have played 20 games by that time. Check out the Stats Page on our website at www.sunlakessoftball.com to see up-to-date standings and batting statistics.

After a holiday break, the winter season begins on Tuesday, January 5. If you’re interested in playing in the winter league, now is the time to come down to the field. The drafting of teams will take place in mid-December, so it’s important to be signed up prior to that draft. We also have a recreational program that takes place on Monday and Saturday mornings. These are informal get-togethers and include batting practice and pick-up games.

Our ladies’ team, the Sun Lakes Sluggers, will also begin league play in January. They play in the Valley of the Sun League, which includes teams throughout the Valley. Check the Ladies Team Page on our website for their complete schedule. Call Lynn Casey at 773-580-6525 for more information about the ladies’ team. Come down to the Field of Dreams and cheer them on!
