Tournaments

A Message from Ann Hooks

With 21 years of wonderful memories and excitement for the future, I am pleased to announce new ownership of SPA!
Kelly Ratcliff of Ohio has taken the reins and will be guiding SPA forward. All tournaments for the remainder of 2021 will continue as planned, and tournaments for 2022 are already in the works.
Since Ridge’s passing last year, the support I have received from Players, Managers, Directors, Umpires, Staff, and SPA friends has been tremendous.
So many of you have gone above and beyond to help me. “Thank you” cannot begin to express my gratitude!
Please pray for Kelly as he transitions SPA and show him the kindness and support you have shown to Ridge and me over the years.
“To God Be the Glory!”
Ann Hooks

SPA Goal - To Maintain Honesty and Integrity of the Senior Softball Game The Softball Players Association (S.P.A.) was established in 1992, in Chattanooga, Tennessee by Herb and Yvonne Oliver. At that time, there were only two Senior Softball organizations in America. The sport was growing and was in desperate need of additional resources. The opportunities for teams to play on a regional and national level needed to be expanded. S.P.A. was an organization driven by players and managers who were looking for new and exciting ways to play the game. One of S.P.A.'s goals was to maintain the honesty and integrity of the game. S.P.A. also wanted to give the teams the opportunity to play closer to home. Therefore, consideration was given to geographically rotating of its National Championships.
