The non-profit Puget Sound Senior Baseball League (PSSBL), one of the largest amateur adult baseball leagues in the U.S., will have open tryouts for all baseball players, age 19 and over, during the course of four weekends in March.
The PSSBL is comprised of 1,100 players forming 72 teams in 9 different divisions.
The divisions are organized based on age and skill level, ranging from competitive to recreational. Formed in 1989, this year marks the PSSBL’s 31st season of operation.
The 2019 tryouts will be held at
- Interlake High School in Bellevue on Sunday, March 10th,
- Sunday, March 17th at Russell Road Park in Kent,
- Saturday, March 23rd at Bellevue College, and
- Sunday, March 31st back at Interlake High School.
Tryouts are free to attend.
For more information including start times and online registration, tryout players and all interested parties are encouraged to view the PSSBL website or call 425-644-1901.
Three PSSBL-based teams won national championships last fall. The Puget Sound Reds took the 35 and Over title at the MSBL World Series in Phoenix. Both the 60 and Over and 70 and Over versions of the Washington Titans won their respective divisions at the Roy Hobbs World Series in Florida.
There are a number of ex-minor leaguers and college players in the PSSBL – even a former Seattle Mariner, but there’s also plenty of room in recreational divisions for players who haven’t picked up a baseball since Little League.
The PSSBL is well known for donating money, materials, and labor to youth and school baseball organizations around the Sound as well as other charities. This season we are assisting Thomas Jefferson High School, Bellevue College, Northwest Washington Baseball League, and the Wounded Warriors Project.
