This league drafts teams for 10 weeks, then redrafts for another 10 weeks to meet different softball players. The price for all 20 weeks is $40.
Three local softball leagues for players ages 50 and older feature special safety rules, registration periods, divisions and player drafts.
The Friday Morning Softball League normally has seven to eight teams playing for 20 weeks. The price for this league is very reasonable.
The Nebraska Senior Softball League plays on Monday and Wednesday nights. They have over 16 teams with all teams playing on both nights. All senior softball leagues will be played at the La Vista sports complex at 7629 Josephine Street, La Vista NE, 68128.
