About Us
The Vintage Softball Club started in 1987 for seniors to compete in slow pitch softball. The Club currently has 5 different leagues and about 300 members. The Club is open to men and women that will be at least 50 years of age, or older, any time in the year that they join.

Our Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday leagues compete year round with new teams formed every three or four months. Members can play in any or all of these leagues. So, in 2012 we will welcome anyone born in 1962 or earlier.
