Jupiter Senior Softball

This past April, Tim Lavery, 66, saw an insert in his
water bill about the Jupiter Senior Softball program and
decided to sign up. “I hadn’t played softball, or any ball,
in 20 years,” he said. Since then he’s been playing in
games three mornings a week and said he’s enjoying the
camaraderie of fellow players and being outdoors and
exercising.
For Dave Jakubiak, 62, who began playing in the
fall of 2021, the motivation has been a combination of
meeting and making new friends, getting good exercise
“and playing a game you love.” The year-round slow-pitch
softball program is open to persons 55 and older and more
players are welcome, said League Commissioner Paul
Storch.
“It’s a fantastic way to spend two or so hours a morning
three days a week,” Storch said. Games are every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday mornings at Jupiter Community
Park, 3377 Church Street, beginning with batting practice
at 8:30 a.m. On deck, batter Dave Jakubiak Tim Lavery takes a throw at first base during infield warm-ups.
