History
The Mid-Columbia Senior Softball Association was formed in April of 2004 by an inspired senior citizen that had played senior softball in Arizona and California. His name was Bob Snider and he set into motion the league that exists at this time. There were three teams that initial year and the league expanded to seven by 2013. Today, the MCSSA is happy to invite both men and women to play. As a senior league, men and women were required to be at least 50 years of age. However, in 2014, the Board dropped the age for women to 45. Today, women 40 or older and men 50 and over are eligible to participate in the league.
Our league is fortunate to feature teams sponsors which generously help cover league expenses by contributing sponsor fees. Typically, new players are placed or drafted onto a team following a couple of spring practice sessions. Each team will have a mixture of both men and women. Coaches will go through a draft process filling out their rosters. Our league strives to keep teams as balanced as possible in order to create parity so all teams are competitive and balanced.
