EDMONTON 50+ SENIORS SLO-PITCH ASSOCIATION
*** Seniors In Motion ***

The Edmonton Senior Slo-Pitch Association was created in 1983 to give seniors (men and ladies), a venue to play slo-pitch against their peers. We now have over 280 - 50+ seniors in our association, playing ball two to three times a week in 3 divisions.

The first two of these (Hirsch, and Brawner) are reformed each year by the League Exec by way of a draft of all persons wishing to participate.
The Hirsch division is for the more skilled players while the Brawner Division is for those players, regardless of skill level, who play slo-pitch strictly for recreational purposes. Each team is comprised of players like yourself who will be 50 years of age or older this year. Each team is scheduled to play two games a week on any two of the following evenings; Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday for a total of approximately 32 games.

The Cuthbertson division remains the "AA" division for 2010. It is for those players who are members of a team who wish to compete for Provincial and National titles and numerous tournaments during the year. This is for the highest calibre of players. Teams are formed on their own and entered into the league as a full team. The Cuthbertson - "AA" teams will play at least two (2) games per week and may have double headers in 2010
The Cuthbertson Division also allows players who are 45 years and older.

For the more competitive players we also have teams of 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+ and 70+ who compete at various tournaments, Alberta Senior Games, SPN Provincial & National events, and Senior World Series events.

The league schedule starts during the first week of May and ends during the last week in August. The games are played at Airway’s Park adjacent to Kingsway Ave. (113 St. and 113 Ave.) South of the City Center Airport. We rent the Airways Park from the City of Edm. and have spent numerous hours and over $400,000 in upgrades to the facility including dugouts, fencing and sprinkler systems.
