- The League Administrator and Commissioner assign substitute players as needed from the wait list, up to 11 players per team, if requested by managers. A 3 person wait list committee rates, recommends and removes substitute players of equal or lower rating than missing player. All managers will be notified of wait list changes made. The committee determines if a waiting list player is considered permanent or a substitute.Teams can play shorthanded.

- Managers can use more than two players as catcher providing the players agree to platoon.
- Teams can use two extra hitters per game, who do not have to play defense, but this is strictly the player’s choice and NOT a manager assignment.
- FIGHTING AND FOUL LANGUAGE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Physical altercations on the field of play will result in suspensions.

In 1996 Nick Perrelle(deceased)

Senior Softball By Laws
About our Senior Softball League
The history of the Hudson Valley Monday Seniors Softball League started in Fishkill as the "Fishkill Seniors Softball League" during the summer of 1996. The league was the brainchild of Mr. Nick Perrelle,(deceased 2019) was a retired Chappaqua High School Athletic Director and long time football coach. In 1996 Nick fashioned the idea of having seniors who loved the game of baseball participate in a Senior League of Softball. Nick's primary goal was for the seniors to frolic in this summer sport and become what he called
"THE BOYS OF SUMMER". Through his persistent efforts and guidance, Nick was successful in establishing a six team sponsorship culminating with ninety ball players. Nick assumed the position of commissioner in 1996. He also appointed Art Ryan of Wappingers Falls as the league Secretary/Administrator.
From 1996 to 1998, the league structure had to be put in place and required dedicated people to lead and develop the by-laws, rules, recruit ball players and establish the foundation. Together with a small group of ball players, referred to as "The Advisory Committee", they established the league structure. The Advisory Committee in 1996 consisted of team managers and other players that assisted in the structure of the league. The names of the original advisory committee members were:
Sal Cioffi(Deceased), Jack Dexter, Lou (Lance) DiCocco, Pete Letizia,
Tom Modica (Deceased) , Tom Olsen , Howard Roth, Art Ryan (Deceased),
Al Sollecito(Deceased) , Mike Wysocki(Deceased)
