Organization

Welcome!

The Sun City West Senior Softball Club was formed to play and enjoy the experience of senior softball within the Del Webb community.  Three Leagues play as part of the SCWSSC; the American League, Central League, and the National League.  Other organized play, also known as Leagues, play with the approval of the Softball Club that governs the field on which they play.  We are a Charitable Club the occasionally reciprocate plays with other senior communities.

Introduction

The Sun City West Senior Softball Club (SCSSC) is made up of men & women players residing in Sun City West. We play year round, and from October thru April we have 20+ teams and 200+ players. During the summer there are teams playing over the three summer sessions. As needed during some of the summer sessions, we will enjoy reciprocal play with the Sun City Softball club. Games are played at both the Sun Bowl Field in Sun City and Liberty Field in Sun City West.

The American, Central, and National League Committees are responsible for the day to day operation of the leagues. These committees coordinate the teams, managers, rules, guidelines and their league play. 

Open practice (for club members) at  Liberty Field is available.  As needed, the "Green Team" meets to evaluate new players.

You must sign a waiver of liability to play on the field.

The Sun City West Softball Club hosts a number of benefit events throughout the year.  The Cardiac Kids Tournament  was created to benefit the Heart Association and support our local Posse. The  Angels in the Outfield auxiliary keeps us informed about our fellow players, and their spouses, who have health issues.  This group also coordinates various food and toy drives throughout the year at our field.

Our club has a well established Hall of Fame that recognizes players who have gone above and beyond the norm when it come to the club, by electing them to the SCSSL Hall of Fame.

As a current REC Card and Softball Club member you are also eligible to play in other sanctioned leagues as well. There is a Friday Co-Ed League that plays on Fridays at Liberty Field starting at 10 AM (temporarily suspended).  There is a Women's Team and a 70's League that play on Saturdays.

 If you are an advanced player who is eager to participate on a traveling tournament team, you can try out for the Sidewinders (a Del Webb founded tournament group who play 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75 divisions in tournaments around the country).

Warm up, Warm up, Stretch, Stretch.

So you haven't played since college or even high school. You had that nice comfortable job behind a desk for all those years. Now you have retired and want to get involved in all those activities you did as a youngster. Well bucko let me tell you, you are probably out of shape. You need to get into some sort of exercise program; walking, stretching and running short distances, like say 65 feet. You are welcome to come out and practice. Take your time. No need to show all of your good stuff yet. Get out and do a lot of throwing of thee ole softball around. We have all you need at the field; balls & players to throw with. All you need to do is go out and buy all that new stuff. A bat, a glove and shoes with rubber or molded cleats. We don't want you slipping out there on the field. Uniforms will be provided with your club fee. You get a lot for your buck here. When your out at practice ask if you might try some of the bats the other players have. Check them out and find one that feels good to you. They can be expensive so take your time. Before you purchase your new bat check the ASA Approve list to be sure the model is listed. Shoes and gloves can be purchased at any major sports store or online. 

Oh, one more thing, keep checking this website for the latest news.


About the USE of Phone Numbers on Rosters

Since July of 2009 the IT Committee has been making changes to improve and enhance electronic communications and notifications methods.  The IT committee has looked long and hard at publishing phone numbers on rosters, and explored the legalities and misconceptions over phone numbers and email addresses.  Previous methods were viewed as unsatisfactory as it was possible for crawlers and sniffers to electronically find and associate names with phone numbers, as a possible method of obtaining personal information without your knowledge, even though this information is easily found on the internet.  So, we developed a method that does not allow electronic capture and association of your name, phone number and email information.  That is the method we are currently using on www.azsrsoftball.com.

Sun City West Softball Club members sign a new waiver form disclosing that we would publish some of the information from your data sheets on the azsrsoftball.com website.  The waiver also included items needed by the club and the association that would NOT be published. 

IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PHONE NUMBER PUBLISHED ON THE ROSTERS...contact your league committee chairperson!  They will move your phone number in the database so that it does not appear on the rosters.  Please do not contact the Board...contact your league administrator.

Email and the use of email addresses has been reviewed by the IT Committee in an effort to improve notification and communications with all club members.  A number of notifications groups have been used by our clubs to improve the E-News notifications.  The Liberty Field Manager and Angels in the Outfield have also started using group email notifications.  Modifications to both the American and National Leagues databases have allowed for increased communications with players in both leagues.  Further improvements and notifications are being refined to streamline communications and insure notifications in a timely manner.
