Feb 7, 2022 | 2:00 PM

If you’re a little older, and want to have some fun playing softball, you should consider stepping up the plate in the Vernon Area and Senior Slo-pitch League (VASSL).

The league that was created for male and female senior players of all skill levels who love slo-pitch, needs more players. The league is an inclusive mixed recreational league.

VASSL is open to men fifty (50) years and older and women forty-five (45) and older.

“The league provides seniors with a fun, safe, fair play environment while enjoying the social and competitive aspects of the game of slo-pitch while promoting friendship and camaraderie through the practices of good will and sportsmanship,” said spokesperson Mark Moger.

Games are played every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30 at the DND ball diamonds.

“The season is scheduled to start May 3 and runs until August. If you have played before and would like to get involved, or would just like to try something new, the league will be happy to have you,” Moger added.

The league got in a limited schedule in 2021 due to COVID and forest fires.
