POPS 40 & Over Softball Spring/Summer is entering its 4th week. Rain, issues with lights on fields have made it a difficult start. With it getting warmer, staying darker longer ,as well as the high school permits coming, will get us back to softball once again.

POPS will offer make up games for every game rained out, canceled due to holidays, or for whatever reason.

Due to field restrictions, we were forced to start the seaon playing 7 innings but once we receive the high school permits soon, will switch back to 9 innings for the leagues who wish. POPS is working daily to get addional fields permits for 2023, to allow 9 innings all year for all leagues that prefer.

POPS Scholarships for kids whose fathers play in POPS are available. If any of you have a kid graduating high school and going to college contact me. The deadline to apply is June 11th .

Be on the lookout for - This years first POPS Newsletter being emailed to all soon.

POPS Softball is a league that allocates any additional monies raised or left over to help others. We do so with "scholarships" to kids going to college, to helping "families in need" come the holidays.
