Mission
As ambassadors for senior women and our sponsors, we compete in senior women's slow-pitch softball tournaments
throughout Arizona and the United States. Our softball ideals embody teamwork, good sportsmanship, and leadership by
example. These ideals allow us to reach out to, inform, encourage, and teach softball skills to senior women who may
be unaware they can be more active, healthier, and happier.
History
After many dreams that Diana Gano had about her future role in
women's softball, she finally raised the curtain in 1999. She
established a remarkable senior softball organization for women
throughout the Valley of the Sun. Her desire was to create three of the
best competitive teams in the Southwest, and she did just that!
In September 1999 the original team was founded, the Senior Saints
50s. That was only the beginning because in January 2002, the Silver
Saints 55s, came into being. In August 2004, the Saints 40s team was
formed and began tournament play. The next team to be established will
be the Golden Saints 60s which is projected to start competing by
January 2009.
It was Diana’s goal from the beginning to set high standards for each
of the teams. As a result, today there are three sister teams having
rosters of players who are premier, committed, and versatile softball
athletes.
