The Greater Cleveland Senior Softball league is established to provide for the enjoyment of mens senior softball players ages 55 and up through playing competitive softball and attending various related social functions. This MORNING league attracts players from many of the communities in the Greater Cleveland area. The league supports activities related to softball, such as, The Softball Hall of Fame, local tournaments, and fundraisers for local players.
Senior Softball League team members serve as highly visible role models because of their choice of an active lifestyle and can-do attitude.
Greater Cleveland Senior Softball (GCSS) is dedicated to the love of the game of softball, and to promoting teamwork, fun, recreation and sportsmanship among senior athletes in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area. GCSS is a non-profit organization staffed by dedicated officers, managers, and members who donate their time and efforts to make the league successful every year.
Men 55 and older are eligible to participate in our league. Two seven inning games (double headers) are played in the summer on Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting at 10 AM. on the Volunteer Park softball fields located at 21410 Lunn Rd. in Strongsville (west of Prospect Rd.).
Besides a regular season schedule, the league also includes playoffs to determine the GCSS League Championship. The team compositions are balanced during an annual pre-season draft so that the games remain competitive.
Safety is emphasized with the use of a second (orange) first base, a separate home plate for runner, and a safety screen on the mound to protect the pitcher. Collisions are not permitted in GCSS softball games.
