Winter Ball!
What comes after Fall Ball? Winter Ball of course. Arrangements have been made for our WSSA players to have access to Field #1 at Northwest Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12/3/24 to 1/30/25, 9am-11am. While Ogden Park is closed players who are not bothered by cold weather can keep their bats warm until the 2025 season commences. (Remember, the WSSA Annual Meeting is on January 29, 2025).

Suggestions for Changes to the Bylaws Now Being Accepted
Each year at the WSSA Annual Meeting the players present at that meeting vote to approve or disapprove of suggested changes to the association bylaws. Suggestions for changes to the bylaws may be made by any member in good standing. While the recently completed season is fresh in everyone's mind, this would be a good time to think about any changes you think are needed. You may read the bylaws here. The Bylaws should not be confused with the WSSA Manual, sometimes referred to as the Player Manual. Changes to the Manual may be made by a vote of the Board of Directors while the Bylaws may only be changed by a vote of the WSSA members.
Please submit any suggestions for changes to the Bylaws by January 1, 2025. You may submit suggestions by mail, email, or the contact form, addresses of which are available on the Contact Us page of this website.

Poem by Ed Dominelli
The poem below was read by Ed Dominelli, its author, at the induction ceremony for the Wilmington Senior Softball Association Hall of Fame on October 25, 2024.
