PLANT CITY - The Plant City Senior 55-and-older softball team will hold its first practice Nov. 13 at the Randy L. Larson Softball Four-Plex at Park Road and Albertsons Drive.

Anyone 55 and older who wants to play is welcome to come and participate. The league will field four teams, Plant City, Lakeland, Mulberry and Zephyrhills.

Practices and games are scheduled on Fridays from November to April. Games and practices start at 9 a.m.

Team and league organizer John Wolfe said practices and games will take place at the softball four-plex, which is well maintained by the Plant City Recreation and Parks Department.

"People come here from Polk and Pasco counties and are amazed at the facility. It just adds to the fun and the excitement of the games," Wolfe said.

This is the 11th season Wolfe has organized the league.

Wolfe, 84, has been playing softball all his life and appreciates the opportunity to continue playing a sport that never grows old.

"This is a fun league," Wolfe said. "Come on out and enjoy yourself."
