SPA Player Opinion Team Ranking System
Now Open!
For the first time, SPA has opened a program through which players may vote their opinions as to strength of team rankings!

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.
