ABOUT US
The Osceola Senior Softball League was founded about 1995 in St. Cloud Florida. Our most-respected, highly-admired founder Leo Viti passed away in 2022 but his memory lives on. Since its founding the league has been devoted to providing an outlet for active seniors to stay in shape both physically and mentally and socially while playing a game they love. We also find that it can also provide the opportunity of meeting other like-minded individuals, leading to strong and long-lasting friendships. All seniors are welcome regardless of skill level or place of residence; the only limitation is the 55 plus age requirement hence the name of the website (though actually it probably should be 55plusor54ifturning55thatcalendaryearsoftball.com).
Pickup games are played Monday and Friday from mid-March to December at Denn John Softball Complex in Kissimmee (behind Makinson Aquatic Center). Players must arrive by 9AM (or call before 9 & arrive by 9:15 (see Contact, below, for phone #'s) to play in that day's game. On Wednesday there is batting & fielding practice @ 8:45 to 9 followed by a 10 pickup game (arrive, call by 9:30 to play pickup game).
From Jan. to end of March Mon. & Fri. pickup games are replaced by our Monday Thursday Winter League tournament played at Fortune Road Softball Complex in Kissimmee. Sign-ups begin in August. Teams are created by a selection process with the goal of creating evenly divided teams according to their abilities. Each team is sponsored by a participating organization who donates to our League in exchange for various perks and benefits (and of course prestige).
Individual players can be highly competitive, but with the league mission of creating a safe place for seniors to enjoy a healthy recreational environment that competitive drive should never drive away respect & tolerance of others. One's sense of competition should be limited to improving one's own game. Osceola Senior Softball is a non profit corporation registered with the Federal Government and the State of Florida, all the work of running the league is strictly on a volunteer basis.

I would like to give a special shout out to two of the hardest working mwmbers of this league. They are always here and behind the scenes making sure everything is ready for the games. They are the soft spoken Jose V and the not so soft spoken Ray Ortiz.
For those of you who do not know everything that happens in this league is done by and paid for by its members on a VOLUNTEER basis, no one gets paid and we do not receive any outside funding

JOSE SOTO
JOHNNY OJEDA
CANO AVILES
** John Luciano decided that he would withdraw his nomination
These five will decide who will serve in what capacity.
Angel Bermudez will serve as treasurer.
Jose V will remain as the #1 helper, Jose is not involved with the committee so please do not bother him with any questions or complaints.
For those of you who didn't attend on Monday, the day was a little disappointing. we started late due to the large turnout and the rains started early, so we only got to play one inning. The food arrived on time but by then most of the people were gone. A few diehards hung around until the rain stopped and they had a pretty good time eating and socializing.
