The Don Senk Field is one of the only fields in Sun City Center that has bleachers, live announcers, a concession stand (with great food) and an electronic score board that can be seen from 100 yards.

This is the same field The Vintage Babes Softball Team organized a LADIES ONE PITCH Tournament in 2013.

With the help of the CA and others, the field was recently resurfaced with a mixture of dirt, sand and other properties that help soften the ground. The softer surface allows a ground ball to bounce in a more predictable fashion resulting in fewer injuries.

Both the Softball Club and the SCC Community Association worked together to get the funds to resurface Don Senk Field making it a safer place for games this year.
