I hope everyone is enjoying a little break between the spring and fall softball seasons. There a tons of notices about teams having tryouts. So it looks promising for a robust fall season. Now that kids are back in school, we can start figuring out the fall invitational tournament season.
Hosting a fall tournament is a great way to raise money for your teams. Summer tournaments are hosted by leagues, but fall tournaments are hosted by teams. All the proceeds from hosting tournaments goes to the tournament hosts. We will help registrations and getting the word out. We also help lining umpires; even help with brackets if you need it. The host collects the entry and gate fees; pays the umpires; buys the trophies; and prepares the fields. So it a way your team can raise money playing the game they love.
Players just need to be USA Softball Individually Registered. The registration from the summer is good until Dec 31st. A registered player is registered even if she changes teams since it’s a player registration.
The Fall Meeting will be at the upstairs meeting room at the Donal Snyder Center on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018 at 6:00 PM. The address is 2520 Pass Road, Biloxi, MS 39531. Meeting is open to anyone interested in hosting or playing in one of the fall tournaments.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend the meeting to tstanley@cableone.net. Also, please let me know what age group your team is planning to participate. Facebook is ok also. The URL is https://www.facebook.com/USASoftballSouthMS/.
