The fall season of the Sun Lakes Senior Softball League will begin on Tuesday, October 27 at the Field of Dreams. Our league consists of six teams and will feature two doubleheaders every Tuesday and Thursday through December 18. Each team will play a 20 game schedule during that period.
In addition we have a Monday morning recreational program targeted for those who may not want to commit to our formal program or just want to play pick-up games and take batting practice. This is also the ideal program for those who haven’t played in a while but want to get back into the game.
Note that all returning and new players must register and pay dues for the new fiscal program year. Sign up procedures are different this year and will require participants to purchase a Softball Club membership from the IronOaks HOA in addition to paying dues to the Sun Lakes Senior Softball Association. Please see our website (www.sunlakessoftball.com) for sign-up deadlines, fee levels and other detailed information about our program.
We were saddened to hear of the passing of former member Don Vachon. Don played in our league from 1989 through 2004 and will be remembered as one of the best pitchers and nicest guys of that era. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Pat and his family and many friends.
