Jan 08, 2025 ·   FHCASA Rules

Managers of all 50's teams,   The FHC Board of Directors has voted to try out a HR limit for the 50's Division.  It will be a 3-month experiment for now and will be evaluated in April.     The limit will be as follows: A Division will be 14 HRs and then an out.   B and below will be 10 HRs and then an out.   Most travel ball teams only get up to 10 HRs when they go to big tournaments.  We want you to be able to free swing, but still be conscious of your limit.  Any ball that ...

Chairman's Notes - November 2024

Nov 27, 2024 ·   Chairman's Notes

  Managers, it has been my great pleasure representing you on the FHC Board of Directors for the past 10 years.  Wow, did that go fast.  Some 10 years ago, I was asked to take over the Area 2 Director's position, and was re-elected the next year.  In the fall of 2015, I was elected as Chairman, and have served in that capacity for the past 8 years.  FHC Senior Softball has grown to be the largest Senior Softball League in the country, and I am proud to have been a Player, a Manager, a Sponsor, and of course a Bo ...

False accusations during election

Oct 21, 2024 ·   Voting

Managers, sadly we have learned that a former Board Member has gone on Facebook and called Mike Knowles dishonest, and accused him of taking some 10-12K of money away from FHC every tournament.  Don't you think that is quite convenient just before an election is taking place?  I, as the Treasurer of FHC, handle virtually all money that comes into our treasury.  Also, it is impossible because we do not take in that kind of money anyway.  We pay for umpires, awards, Hotel rooms, Director fees, and so on.  Man ...

Chairman's Notes - October 2024

Oct 11, 2024 ·   Chairman's Notes

  Managers, I have a couple of things for you:   There seems to be some confusion on our experiment to play the 65 Teams on the same weekend of the 50 Teams.  Each person does have the opportunity to be on 2 different Rosters because of this change.  But, you can only be on one Roster on a tournament weekend.   Example:  If you are 65+ in age you can play on 65 Team, but can also play on a 60+ Team.  If you are 70+ in age, you can play on a 70+ Team, but also a 65+ Team.   The only age group l ...

Chairman's Notes - September Part 2

Sep 19, 2024 ·   Chairman's Notes

Manager's,  please make a great effort to get these notes to everyone on your team.  I am sure someone on your team has the ability to get everyone's email and get these out, just in case you don't.   I have several things for you:   Weather  -  We seem to talk about the weather quite often because it is Florida and we get a lot of rain and wind, especially in the summer and fall.  We check the forecast continually starting at least 2 weeks prior to each tournament.  We want every tournament to ...
