Harford County Senior Softball

Welcome to the Harford County Senior Softball league that is located in Joppa, Maryland. HCSS is an affiliate of Joppatowne Recreation Council and the Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation with additional sanctioning by USAS [USA Softball].

Players ranging from ages 45 to 70-something are invited to participate in an enjoyable and competitive men's slow-pitch, senior softball league that runs from early May through the end of July with a play-off tournament and championship. Ballplayers from surrounding counties and states are especially invited to sign up since there are no geographic restrictions. [You do not have to be a Harford County resident to play.]

The league is split into two skill levels; a master’s type group for ages [45-55] on Thursday nights and a more traditional senior league of [50-70+] year-old ballplayers on Tuesday nights. 

Please feel free to browse around our site; then go ahead and visit our Player Registration page to sign up. If you have any specific questions about the league, just use the Contact Us form to discover the action-packed excitement and nostalgic experiences of Senior Softball.

So, do you want to recapture those youthful days on the ball fields of yesteryear and get those competitive juices flowing again? Then, come out and join us for some rejuvenating fun...and just maybe, you might even hit a home run!

In closing, our mantra seems appropriate to mention from a very timely adage:

"Seniors don't quit playing softball because they get old;

 they get old, because they quit playing!"

From The President 

Spring 2025

As the league's president, I would like to welcome all new and returning players to our 33rd season of Harford County Senior Softball. If you know of any prospective ballplayers [ages 45 - 70+], just simply refer them to the HCSS website and please remember that they do not have to be residents of Harford County.

Once again, Player Registration and sign-up will take place via hard [paper] copy PDF. The registration fee will be $100 for this season. As always, we must abide by the Joppatowne Recreational Council's policy of No Smoking or Alcohol on school premises.

In the event of inclement weather such as rain or excessive heat, always check our HCSS Facebook page link in the yellow navigation bar prior to going to the ballfields. Postponed games will be called no later than 4:00 PM.

Please patronize all of our Corporate Sponsors because without their financial support which covers team jerseys and equipment, our playing fees would be much higher. Also, if you find anyone who would like to underwrite a full Corporate Sponsorship or become a Partial Sponsor or an Individual Donor for our league, kindly let me know. 

Finally, let's all have another safe, fun and exciting season of HCSS while enjoying a very competitive league continuing its tradition of high caliber play. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 443-253-1475 or spgabber@aol.com. Thank you very much and let's make this year, our best EVER!!!

League President
