Senior Sports is starting a new season with a new name.
North Tampa Bay Senior Softball, a coed organization for 60-and-older participants, will begin its fourth season on Oct. 2. Before that, player tryouts will continue on Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. All players will be placed on a team, but the hitting, running and catching drills will give coaches an idea of who to select first. The tryouts and regular season games will take place at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex, 3032 Collier Parkway in Land O’ Lakes. Participants should bring an ID and glove to the tryouts.
NTBSS will field at least four teams for the upcoming fall and winter schedules, in which games will be played on Friday mornings. The cost is $25 to play both schedules, and participants can register at the tryouts.
The organization also provides seniors with opportunities to play volleyball, basketball, tennis, golf, bowling and other activities. For information, call Walt Bockmiller at (813) 527-8211.

Hi Frank,
This is Kevin Weiss, with the Laker/Lutz News. I believe Pasco County offers some senior softball pickup games and leagues throughout the year at Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park and maybe some other places. The number to reach them is 813-929-1229. CAJS Enterprise also organizes softball leagues throughout the county and they may be able to help. Charles Wagner is in charge of that and can be reached at 910-915-9359 or
