Roxbury over 30 Men’s Softball League

The Roxbury Men’s Softball league is a fun yet competitive league for primarily Roxbury and Mount Arlington residents with roster allowances for “out of towners”. The league is sponsored by Roxbury Recreation and has been in existence since 1979. It was originally conceived as an “open” league with no age restrictions but evolved into an over 30 league for a long stretch and is now back to “open”.

League eligibility has been modified during the recent past by allowing Township employees as well as graduates of Roxbury High School, and spouses of RHS graduates, and women to participate in the league. Additionally those players who participated in the league, and then moved out of the Township, have been “grandfathered for league eligibility. Finally each team is now allowed players from "out of town" to their rosters. League entrance fee per team, paid to Roxbury Recreation, please inquire as to the current amount. Umpires are paid by team managers at each game.

It is recommended that teams have a minimum of 15-20 players on their rosters when considering all the family and work conflicts which can arise for many of the players for the season.

League play for the regular season typically begins in April and continues through the end of June/early July. At the conclusion of the regular season, a playoff tournament is held to determine the league champion(s). All teams are eligible to participate in the tournament. The league also supports “one-pitch” fundraiser tournaments for local charities, residents in need , reducing team league fees and/or field improvement projects.
