VINTAGE SOFTBALL
A "Fair, Fun & Safe" way to play
The Vintage Softball Club of Santa Clara County, a California not for profit corporation, was founded in 1987 for men and women 50 years and older to play slow pitch softball. With over 200 active members, we offer both weekend and weekday leagues that enable players of all skill levels- some players are novices, most are intermediate and a few are actually in the Senior Softball Hall of Fame- to participate in organized softball as many as 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. To play, all you need is a bat, glove and payment of a nominal annual membership fee.

Saving Lives while at play...(with the aid of AEDs). The following related message is from the office of the President of the Vintage league (Bob Sprague) sent to all members on Sept 2nd, 2024.....
I would like to bring you up to speed on the recent incident related to one of our members last week. He had a heart attack on the field and was revived by CPR and the use a defibrillator used by our own Vintage members including Kevin Buchanan & John "Jr" Castro....(pictured above with one of our Vintage defibrillators) & Don "Donny" Owens.
This did remind us of the importance of the defibrillator. We currently have 5 such devices and are procuring a 6th so we can always have one available at each of our fields. We are planning to provide a quick instruction on defibrillator use for those interested at some of the upcoming softball games and to put a training video on the web site. The lesson should only take 10-15 minutes and is lifesaving. Additional details will follow.
We have an AED (automatic external defibrillator) at each of our fields. Check out this link for more information about CPR and the use of AEDs.
Player Team Draft Days
All Vintage players enter a draft 3 times per year establishing the official teams for all Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday leagues (see current rosters) ....Members are notified by the respective league commissioner or manager on team assignments. As a reminder, all players are re-drafted by league managers multiple times per year ensuring a continual change in team rosters.
Board Meeting & Rules Update

2024 Holiday party (Re-Cap)
The annual holiday party was a big success, with a majority of our active members and their "plus 1's" in attendance. As in past years, this event was a great chance to socialize with fellow Vintage members and their spouses/significant others outside of the games. There were great prizes won by numerous members with the final 2 prizes (Dudley bats) generously donated by our party director, Ric Ferris. Thanks to all who contributed to this year's prize donations with an extra shout out to our VP, (who shall not be named) who was instrumental in organizing the logistics needed to pull off this awesome event.
2024 "1.5- Pitch" Tournament (Re-Cap)
Congratulations to "Team Tony Clements" for winning this year's annual Vintage 1-Pitch Tourney against Team Troy Bridges. For those that didn't stay and watch, the final game was a good close one that ended with a score of 12-10 and ended on a great catch of a smashed line drive up the middle that looked like it was gonna go through to the outfield. The organizers (Ric F. & Cole M.) would just like to thank everyone who came out and participated in the event. A fun time was enjoyed by many with a good mix of competitive fun.
