| March 13, 2020 TWG | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Corona Virus (COVID-19) A couple of weeks ago SSUSA put out an email stating that the show will go on regardless and no tournaments will be canceled. Quite frankly, I thought that letter a bit premature. Now they've decided that anyone over 65 will not be able to play on their teams, but somehow it will be OK if they play down a division. What's the point? Please explain. Every single report I have read states that this disease affects seniors 60 and over the most. So why are the 60's still playing? Why the demarcation line that appears arbitrary and not in line with the facts? My hunch is revenue. If they lose the 60's, not enough revenue to warrant having the tournaments. I don't disagree with posts suggesting this entire process is an over-reaction. That probably in all likelihood will be the end result. There is one certain way to stop this in its tracks and not let it spread and that is limit and and all exposure. All of our local softball leagues have suspended all play regardless of age until further notice. I think SSUSA needs to get on board with all major sports leagues, entertainment events; etc. and simply not allow any possibility of this spreading further. A month or two of lost softball is a small price to pay. Need I mention the recklessness, even though it was an attempt to be funny, of the basketball player Rudy Gobert. I can only protect myself so far, it is being exposed to reckless people that is concerning and by not canceling these tournaments until further notice, SSUSA is putting all of us in jeopardy. |
| Oct. 23, 2017 TWG | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: SoCal Player 60 AAA or Majors Never played travel softball. I was told I could play AAA or Majors. I'm an outfielder, primarily center, either side. Contact hitter, some power, hit to all fields. Cover a lot of ground in the outfield. Fast runner. |
