Eastern Massachusetts Senior Softball (EMASS) is opening its annual registration campaign for slow-pitch softball players aged 50 and older. 

With almost 500 members, the league attracts players from towns across Eastern Massachusetts with games played primarily in Wayland, Medfield, and Framingham. The EMASS season runs from late April through late September, including playoffs. Interested players can register for the EMASS 2024 season at https://e-mass.org/current-programs.

EMASS has six divisions that accommodate a range of skill levels, two that play on Saturday mornings and four on weekday mornings. EMASS has many seniors in their fifties and sixties who can still hit a ball over a 300-foot fence, run down a deep drive in the outfield or turn a double-play in the infield. There are other divisions in which players whose talents may have diminished over time can enjoy playing with similarly skilled friends.

“We are a community of folks who recognize how lucky we are to be able to play a game we love at the age we have attained and at a level that matches our abilities – in a community of like-minded players who become friends,” said Steve Bober, new Commissioner of EMASS.

 EMASS adds about 60 new players each year. “We shuffle up team rosters every year in all divisions to enhance connections across our large softball-loving community,” said Rich Goldberg, a Division Coordinator. “Our members enjoy competing with and against their friends.”
