Welcome to the Florida Senior Sports Association (FSSA)
"Founded in 2000, the Florida Senior Sports Association (FSSA) is a federally approved non-profit, volunteer driven organization based in Melbourne, Florida which seeks to develop relationships with other countries through senior sports"
Thank you for visiting our website. The FSSA was inspired by the late Ray Odom and serves many charity driven functions in our senior softball community.

In addition to helping with fundraisers for members in need, the FSSA sponsors the Legends Hall of Fame to recognize those senior players with years of tournament success at the national level.

FSSA YouTube Channel follow us on YouTube!
The FSSA sponsored a documentary film titled Extra Innings in which a film crew followed a men's Senior Major Plus softball team on their quest to win a national championship.
In 2013 and 2014 the Hollis team traveled to Nagua, Dominican Republic and won the Goodwill Games going 3-0. Even better, the boys continued their charitable giving by donating thousands of baseball items to several of the surrounding villages through our Feeding the Dream program.
The team also traveled to Detroit, Michigan for a Celebrity Fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Macomb County. This event raised over $20,000 for a local charity. You can help us to achieve our continuing goal of charitable giving through senior sports by donating here to the FSSA.

Extra Innings Documentary
Follow a Major Senior Softball team on a quest
The Baby Boomers of today are a new breed of "old guys" who are not ready for retirement or the rocking chair. The Extra Innings Documentary film is about a group of senior softball players coming together to chase a dream of winning the World Masters Championship, the highest level of competition, in Las Vegas, Nevada this fall. The film crew followed the team to the Dominican Republic and Detroit, Michigan charity events and has great footage to share with us.
Market Place
We occasionally find healthy life-style products we would like to share with our members. These products are thoroughly tested by members and given our strongest recommendation. In the case of Garden Fresh Salsa, our own Jack "Big Salsa" Aronson is the purveyor!
