50's Draft League

In addition to the regular Monday night 50’s Senior ball, Wednesday night will be a 50 plus draft league. There were simply not enough people to put together a 55 plus league. The new draft league is available to anyone over 50. If you are 55, you can play. If you are 60, you can play. The only criteria is to be over 50. This allows all 50 plus players a second night to play softball and stay sharp.



This is going to be exciting and provide a venue for new players to come into the league that might not have been able to play before. We also know there are a lot of good players just waiting to be found. These new players can be establish their abilities then move into the Monday night teams in subsequent years. We are going to have a massive recruiting campaign to keep a steady flow of new recruits to maintain the long term health of our program. You will love the results and this new league will ultimately create more players, more teams, and be fun with parity yet still be competitive.


We are going to establish a way to have all 50 plus players that want to play placed into the player pool. We will use prior year sign ups plus anyone who has expressed an interest to play. Verification that a player want to play will be by the payment of his registration fee. I have attached the form to use. Everyone is invited to attend the meeting; however, it is not necessary. What is more important is the expression of your desire to play (i.e. fill out the form and send in your money). Your managers will contact you!

We will cut off sign ups around Mar 10. This will allow us to reserve the fields with Boise and allow time to establish the teams.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know or contact any other Board member.

Thanks,

Cliff Boxer
