Rochester MN Senior Softball League
Rochester MN Senior Softball (RMSS) is a spring/summer league open to men and women players. Men must be at least 50 years old, and women players must be at least 40 years old during the playing season. Our focus is on fun, fitness and fellowship.
Games are played on Monday and Wednesday mornings at McQuillan fields in southeast Rochester, near Longfellow School on Marion Road. Normal start time is at 9:30 AM with optional batting practice at 8:30 AM. Start times are occasionally modified slightly, due to weather or field availability.
The season is separated into sessions. Players register as individuals, then are drafted and assigned to teams for each session. This minimizes the chance that a single team dominates the other teams.
It also accounts for player availability based upon new players, injuries, vacations, and work responsibilities, in addition to promoting fellowship as the team rosters change each session. The dates for each session are included on the General Calendar (under the More tab) and reflected in the Schedule page. The News page records our mid-season picnics and other celebrations, in addition to general news items.
We will have 6-8 teams divided into two divisions for the 2025 season. The 2025 season will run from May 5 through September 24 with 4 sessions of 10 games for a total of 40 games.
Session 1 – May 5 to June 9 – 10 games
Session 2 – June 11 to July 14 – 10 games and picnic on July 14
Session 3 – July 16 to August 18 – 10 games
Session 4 – August 20 to September 24 – 10 games and picnic on September 24
The 2025 player fee is $35.00 for the year if paid by April 21, and $48.00 for the year or $12.00 per session if paid after April 21. Players who are 80+ years old during the 2025 calendar year, RMSS Board members and Managers play for free. The player fee covers the 40 scheduled games plus picnics. New players paying for a full year ($35.00 or $48.00) receive a RMSS baseball cap.
The Registration page has the Registration/Waiver form and details on options to submit your form.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you want to join the league after the season starts, contact a RMSS Board member or a Team Manager. The Board members and Team Manager information is available on the Contact Us page. A per game fee or a reduced season fee, based upon your start date, is offered.
2025 season picnics are scheduled for 7/14 and 9/24. They are FREE to RMSS players and are great opportunities for fun and fellowship!! For more league and team information, click the tabs at the top of this page.
