Reminder: 2016 USA Softball of South Mississippi Fall Meeting

August 23, 2016

Just a reminder:  The Fall Meeting will be held this Thursday, August 25th at 6:00 PM.  It will be held in the upstairs meeting room at the Donal Snyder Center in Biloxi.  The address is 2520 Pass Road.

Teams host tournaments in the Fall.  So here’s a chance for our Fall Teams to make a little money to get a jump on the 2017 Playing Season.  Teams wanting to host a tournament should have a location in mind and few options on dates.  We’ll do our best to work around schedules.

For those that haven’t hosted before, all the funds raised during the tournament go to the tournament host.  You collect the gate and any concessions.  You pay the umpires and buy the trophies.  You keep what’s left.  All players must be ASA Individually Registered is the only condition.  We’ll help you as much as we can, but it’s your tournament.

I hope to see a good turnout on Thursday.  Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything.
Thanks,,,

2016 USA Softball of South Mississippi Fall Meeting

It’s especially timely with the Olympics going on that the official transition from ASA Softball to USA Softball has been announced. And even better, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) voted last week to add baseball and softball to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Program. Softball is back. ASA/USA is making the transition to better connect the Junior Olympic Program to the National Teams. The pinnacle of every American athlete’s dream is to wear the red, white and blue with USA across their chest.

Mississippi ASA/USA Softball is making the transition also. We’ve been discussing some potential realignments of Districts. Quite likely District 1 (Gulf Coast) will expand to include all of south Mississippi. I’m still considering names for the new District, but I’m leaning towards USA Softball of South Mississippi. The District will be much more than just the coast, so I’m looking for a name that will reflect the region.

So it’s time to get ready for the Fall Season 2016. The Fall Meeting for USA Softball of South Mississippi will be at the upstairs meeting room at the Donal Snyder Center on Thursday, August 25th, 2016 at 6:00 PM. Please note we won’t be in our normal room. We will be upstairs at Donal Snyder. The address is 2520 Pass Road, Biloxi, MS 39531.

Leagues host tournaments in the summer. But since most leagues aren’t playing, teams host tournaments in the fall. So if you’re team is interested in hosting a tournament. Please plan on attending the meeting. You’ll need to where and when you could host a tournament. It’s a great chance to make some money for your team.

Thanks for Playing USA Softball!
