8.13.26 BUY AND SELL SECTION REMOVED

 ✨ Good News!

We’ve been doing a little website cleanup, and the Buy & Sell section was causing some behind‑the‑scenes issues. To keep everything running fast and smooth, even though it was short lived, we’ve decided to retire it.

But no worries — buying and selling is still alive and well! 📦➡️ We’ve moved BUYING & SELLING to our NEW Facebook Page 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ECtKmjdC5/

Post your items, browse what others are offering, and keep the community buzzing. Thanks for rolling with the improvements!

WEBSITE UPDATES / NEWS

 HELLO ALL,

Well, it's been a pretty quiet month and we here at Sebring Senior Softball, hope that everyone is doing well and getting ready for a fabulous summer.

Many of the local players have been taking in BATTING PRACTICE at the ballpark on Tuesdays and Thursdays

As described in the sidebar to the right of this post, Batting Practice and short scrimmages are taking place depending on the number of players showing up. Read the news section posted on the right for updated information.

I have also updated many of the pages here implementing the use of EXCEL to create new Schedules, Standings and Roster charts that will come into play for the 2027 season.

You will also notice a NEW "RULES PAGE" that I created to better view and understand our updated League Rules.

A NEW "CONTACT US" page has also been updated to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to email us at any time with your questions.

This new format allows you to select your topic via a drop down and you can fill in the rest of the information required.

We hope you like the NEW LOOK and we look forward to seeing everyone again at the ballpark.

Take care, be safe and stay healthy.

Player Cards REQUIRED during NON LEAGUE PLAY !

 A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

Player Cards are REQUIRED by the Highlands County Parks and Facilities Dept to use the Highlands Sports Complex WHEN YOU ARE NOT PLAYING IN A LEAGUE.

So, when you are playing in either the 20 game Winter League or in the 10 game Spring or Fall leagues-  you do not have to have a Player Card while playing in any of the 3 leagues.

When you are not in one of those leagues, and you wish to use the Sports Complex....you are required to have the Player Card with you.  

If you are year round resident (or need one for the 6 & 1/2 months between those 3 League playing times, then you need a full time card for a price of $26.88 per year. 

Those at batting practice now who are year-round residents need a year-round card, probably by April 22.

Staff will be checking for Players Cards

Highlands Sports Complex staff will start checking cards after the Spring League ends, which is after April 22. So everyone taking batting practice on Tuesdays or Thursdays do not have to have a card before April 22 or in other words you need a card by April 22.

If you are only interested in batting practice during the several months leading up to the Fall 10 game season or before the 20 game season, then you are required to have a 6 month card which costs $16.13. DO NOT GET ONE OF THE 6 MONTHS CARDS NOW but get one next October or when you come down. The current rule is that someone getting a 6 month card NOW will have that card expire on July 1 and therefore you will have to get another card if you want to go to batting practice before the next winter seasons or Fall league. 

 I will be accepting $$$ to turn into the Parks Department or you can go get your own card. Their office is at 636 Fernleaf Avenue in Sebring, which is behind the Sheriff's office.

Please...DO NOT GIVE ME 88 CENTS IN CHANGE. Give me $27.00 and the extra 12 cents will be donated to our league until April 22, then you are on your own!!!

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE OUR LEAGUE?

EMAIL YOUR COACHES OR TEXT THEM TO ME OR TO YOUR COACHES OR TO DICKIE COOK OR DONNIE DOBERT & THEY WILL SEND THEM TO ME - THEY WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL IF YOU SO DESIRE.

Have a SAFE and Happy and Healthy Summer and we will see you at the BALLPARK

Batting Practice is starting next Tuesday March 24 at 8:00 am and will be held each Tuesday and Thursday at the Highlands Sports complex generally until next Winter season starts, not counting when the guys bringing the balls go on vacation, etc. . 

The big guy is Stan Browne who will be there next Tuesday. 

Heads up : Highlands County requires a Players Card to come to use the Sports Complex when you are not on a team. 

It generally costs about $28 but come to the first session next Tuesday first for more details on how to obtain one.

 WE HOPE TO RESTART WITH PICKUP GAMES AFTER BATTING PRACTICE - MORE ON THAT LATER.

Tourney Results for March 19th

 

Congratulations to ALAN JAY AUTOMOTIVE for their exciting bottom of the 7th inning, come from behind win over a very determined VFW team in the Championship game.

There were some excellent games played prior to the Championship where either team could have taken the win, because all the games were all that close!

On a personal note, I can honestly tell you that over the past 9 years of playing in Winter Haven, with this being my first year living here in Sebring, and playing for SEBRING SENIOR SOFTBALL, this has definitely been one of the most competitive, exciting and above all, most ENJOYABLE experiences I have had over the years.

Thank you to all the players, coaches, teammates, and Commissioner, Jim Polatty for making me feel welcomed here in Sebring.

God willing, I look forward to next season.

Stay Safe, Stay Strong and Stay Healthy !

John Rozon with a home run and a triple.

Vince Ferrer had a triple and a double.
