Adult Sports Leagues
A visitor sent me a suggestion to find out how to join any local softball, basketball, etc. leagues. I know a few people who play, but I don't know who organizes these things. Any suggestions?

The most common name for the area prior to forming the town was "West Dedham" or the Clapboardtrees Parish. As the town was officially formed, the original name suggested was "Nahatan," however this was considered too similar to Nahant, so constable Isaac Carter proposed "Westwood" instead, and the town was officially formed on April 2, 1897.

There is a 30+ Mens'
There is a 30+ Mens' Basketball League organized through the Recreation Department (Mike Griffin). I I think the league starts up in the fall. It's pretty well run and the games are weekday nights at the Martha Jones School.
My wife is interested in a women's soccer league, but probably only if it was low key and in Westwood. I know Mansfield used to have an informal soccer night for adult town residents (I think it was Thursday nights for women, Wednesday nights for men) for pick-up soccer games... it'd be nice if there was something like that in Westwood.

Sports for Adults Over 40
I have both a book and a website focused on adults who are interested in sports competition. The book, Sports Competition for Adults Over 40, focuses on 27 sports that, I believe, are particularly compatible to adult competitors. It is available through Amazon.com. The website is . Although both the book and website are far-ranging, I would be happy to address more specific questions. My e-mail address is on the website.
