Letter from the Commissioner

Welcome to the Greater Cleveland Senior Softball (GCSS) League website. I am Ken Delfing the Commissioner of the League. I invite you to explore our web page to learn more about us. The GCSS is a mens 55 and over League dedicated to giving senior players a place where they can play, compete and have fun playing the kids game we all grew up with. We strive to have 70-80 players each year that are drafted into 5 teams. We play a 40 game schedule from May thru August. Tuesdays and Thursday Mornings in Strongsville with teams getting a day off every two weeks.

While we are Competitive we are also very friendly league that emphasizes fun and safety. We have rules in place to keep the potential injuries to a minimum and encourage all levels of players to join us. In addition to our regular season schedule we also play some after the season tournaments for fun. We recently expanded and now play a 6 week Fall Ball schedule on Thursdays in September and October. We also have a Winter Ball schedule that we play indoors over in Valley View at Caps Fieldhouse on Fridays. That is a ten week session that goes from January - March. Please visit the rest of our webpage for more information.

If you have questions about becoming a member or if you are interested in sponsoring a team you can email me at gcsscommissioner@gmail.com or send us a message here
