The Lake Keowee Senior Softball club is a group of individuals who enjoy the sport of softball as well as camaraderie and fellowships. We play to win. We play to get better. We play because we are blessed to still be able to do so.
We play competitive games in the Clayton Senior Softball League against teams from the tri-state area including Spartanburg SC, Franklin NC, Hendersonville NC, Gainesville GA, Dahlonega GA and Rabun County GA.
There are currently two LKSS teams (see team-specific pages for more info)
