My phone has been blowing up this morning.. It’s so great to see so much interest in playing this weekend. It’s so hard as a tournament director… You know teams want to play. But do you start a tournament knowing it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to finish. Then you feel guilty about ending a tournament early. A slow steady rain like last weekend will end a tournament just as easy. We’re hoping for a good dry week so we can get back to playing.
The good news is we’ve be to secure the softball fields at the A.J. Holloway Biloxi Sportsplex for this weekend. So we’d once again like to invite teams to come participate in their “rescheduled” annual invitational tournament. The tournament will be held June 12-13th, 2021 at the A. J. Holloway (Biloxi) Sportsplex at 765 Wells Drive in Biloxi. Right now, we have just the softball side confirmed. Hopefully, we can use the baseball too if we need it. That will help keep it a one-day event. All depends on how registration goes and whether the baseball side comes available.
We welcome teams from all the local area leagues. It’s exciting to see so many old friends coming back to play with us. The State Commissioner of USA Softball of Mississippi has approved using a Team Sanction only for leagues which have their own insurance. Changes within the USA Softball Code which allow some flexibility. Team sanctioning can be done online at Team Sanction. It’s only $25 per team for 2021. We can also Individually Register players which sanctions the player and provides supplemental medical and general liability coverage for the players. Individual Registration can also be done online for $15 per player at USA Softball Individual Registration.
Please register early as it will help the tournament organizers prepare for this weekend. It also helps bring out other teams. So please register early.
Here’s the registration link for the tournament:

USA Softball of South Mississippi helps organize the invitational tournament trail to help our local leagues raise money to support their softball program. A lot of families simply can’t afford to put out a bunch of money to play softball. The leagues bear much of financial burden so the girls can go out and play. All proceeds this weekend will go to the Biloxi Girls Softball League.
