Senior softball league seeks new players
Registration is open for the South Hills Senior Softball League, which organizes games for players 55 and older.
Interested people can get information on how to register by emailing SHSSLeague@yahoo.com. Registration forms should be turned in by March 30.
The league, formed more than three decades ago, attracts more than 150 players each year. Games are typically played at fields in South Park, Pleasant Hills, Baldwin, Brentwood, Bethel Park and Pittsburgh.
One division of the league plays on weekday evenings. Another set of teams plays on weekday mornings. Teams in both divisions normally play twice a week. Tryouts and a draft are held in April, on dates to be announced to registered players later.
“Our players get a chance not only to rediscover a game they love, but also to join a strong community of friends,” said Ron Sullivan, commissioner of the league.
AUP inviting singles 50 to join
The Association of University People invites singles 50 , who are 4-year college graduates, to join them for activities and to meet new people.
Activities to name a few are happy hour, brunches, lunches, dinners, meet ups at music venues, a non-traditional book group, day trips and Scrabble.
