PLAY ISSA.....especially in August when the 30th Annual ISSA World Championships will take place in Richmond, Virginia. Over 110 senior teams will be competing in this event this year.....The Best of the Best. Later in August the ISSA will be in Chattanooga, TN and Dalton, GA for the 2024 ISSA Pic-O-Dixie Senior Classic. Many of the senior players today had played in the origional Pic-O-Dixie Classic over 50 years ago when it was one of the favorite softball tournaments in the United States. Coming back to compete in the Senior Classic brings back old memories.

Got Johnson City, TN on my mind. It is the destination for the 2024 ISSA Senior Softball World Series whch will be held on September 11-15. Johnson City is located in the mountains of eastern Tennessee near the Virginia border and was at one time the host of a favorite senior softball tournament. Some of the players on 75+ and 80+ teams may have played there in the 1995 SPA Nationals at Winged Deer Park. The City has since constructed four new fields with synthetic turf infields bringing to nine (9) the number of championship quality fields at the Park. The International Senior Softball Association (ISSA) has moved their World Series from Texas to Johnson City for 2024. The reception has been great, over 50 senior teams immediately signed up to play in the event. The ISSA is still taking entries so any team looking for a special event in September can sign up today.
