Everyone,
The Gulf Coast Championships will be held in Helena, MS this weekend. Dates for the tournament is Jun 13-15, 2014. We will host all age groups: Tee Ball, Coach Pitch, 10u All-Star, 10u Open, 12u All-Star, 12u Open, 14u & 16u. We could especially use some 16u teams to come out and play.
We have 26 teams already. I see having to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It just depends on how many teams want to play. I won’t know for sure until I do the brackets.
The Gulf Coast Championships reflects a more regional significance. It’s a title which signifies the importance of the Gulf Coast to Mississippi ASA and the strength of fast pitch softball in the region. We do limit the participation to a teams based in District 1 or having played in one of our invitational tournaments.
Communications will be via email. Registration will close Wednesday night around 5:00pm. We have a lot of planning and activities to get ready. So we need to register a little earlier this week. The brackets will be posted before Thursday at 5:00pm. I’ll email them out to first. Then I’ll post the brackets on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/GulfCoastASA and at https://usasoftballsouthms.com/.
Please do not call, email or text looking for brackets. It will just distract me from actually getting them done. If you don’t see them, I haven’t finished them yet. Please tell you parents not to call also. I just can’t possibly return all the phone and text messages that I’ll get.
The tournament will be held at the Helena Softball & Baseball Complex. We have use the of the whole facility. The county has been working on the complex to get it ready for us.
Please REGISTER ONLINE & EARLY.

I’ll be taking entry forms for the State Tournaments. So please see the earlier messages and post regarding the Tournament Entry Form and Fee, rosters, etc.
One final thing. I’ve had a lot of people ask if they “have” to play in the Gulf Coast Championships. Well the short answer is no. But I’m trying to create a really special tournament. This is where we crown the Gulf Coast Champion.
Good Luck! Get out there and play!
Thanks,,,
Tom
