Below is the Tournament Information Packet for this weekend’s USA Softball of Mississippi’s Coach Pitch South State and 10U C South Tournament. Please review the packet carefully. I have included a checklist to make sure you have everything you need to play this weekend. You are entering Championship Play, so everything will be a little more formal this weekend. We play by the State Rules and the Official Rules of Softball. The local tournament rules do not apply. You will need a roster. You’re players must play in South State to be eligible for State. Included in the packet is rules for coach pitch and fast pitch. I have included a roster that must be filled out and signed by the parents.
There will be a Coaches Meeting on Friday, 4:00 PM at the fields. It would be good to have at least one coach there. The first game time is 5:30 PM. Players need about 15 minutes to check-in before they play. Be sure to allow enough time for them to check-in before they warmup. They will not play without checking in.
Coach Pitch plays straight double elimination. Based on the order of finish, teams will be seeded into either the Gold, Silver or Bronze bracket at the State Tournament. If you team plans to compete in the Coach Pitch State Tournament in Ridgeland, then you’ll need to give us the entry fee this weekend before you leave ($250). The 10u bracket will play two pool to double elimination.
The tournament will be held at the Goldin Sports Complex. The address is 12136 Prudie Circle, Gulfport, MS 39503. There is a map included in the packet. The weather forecast is improving, but you should be prepared for anything. Be sure your players hydrate to be able to handle the heat.
Good Luck to everyone. Most of all, we want the players to be safe and have a fun weekend.
Thanks for Playing USA Softball!
