An exciting new 8-team slow-pitch softball league started in 2010. It was an
opportunity for Madison, Wisconsin-area men, ages 55 & up, to play organized
games on Wednesday mornings against other senior men in a fun, safe environment.
We have grown and expanded to 26
teams as of 2024. We play Wed and Thu mornings.
GMSS promotes team play, good sportsmanship, and participation
for all players. (See "GMSS Rules" above for the details.)
It is open to players (and
possibly teams) from the Greater Madison area (realistically within a 40 mile
radius of Verona) or further, if the player wants to drive that far. Games will be played at
Verona Community Park next to Eagles Nest
Ice Arena and Veterans Park. See directions under the Announcements
section.

Players from GMSS visited
the Attic Angels Community on July 9, 2014 and spent time talking all things
baseball. The visit provided residents a wonderful opportunity to learn about
the league and talk with some of our players about their memories and actvities. Special thanks to all who participated.
