How To Get Started With A Tournament Team

Hello Baseball Enthusiast,

Thank you for your interest in USSSA Baseball!

Our motto is "More Kids Playing More Baseball". To play with USSSA is real simple. You can either register your team on-line by clicking the "Register Your Team" button on the left Menu Bar or you can register at your first event that you participate. The Annual Team Registration Fee is $25. USSSA Baseball does not charge an Individual Player Registration Fee. The Annual Team Registration Fee is valid from August 1 - July 31.

Review the "Team Classification Guidelines" and register accordingly. We will monitor your team as you participate. Your team may be reclassified at any time by the State Headquarters.

After that, you just gather kids within the age group you want to participate. Roster maximum limit is twenty (20) and there is not a minimum limit, however, you must just have enough to play according to the rules and may want to leave space available for adds.

You need to complete your roster ONLINE. When your team qualifies, the State Headquarters will freeze your roster. At the time your roster is frozen you will have Add/Drop guidelines. You can find the guidelines at left menu bar under By-laws.

You can find a tournament schedule on the left menu bar. You enter events directly with the host sites or on-line.

We qualify teams thru League Play and Tournament. We issue State Championship Berths to the top 25% of the teams in all Sanctioned Leagues and Sanctioned Tournaments. We issue World Series/National Tournament Berths to all Leagues and NIT Tournaments.

Good Luck and Keep It Fun!

Yours in sportsmanship,
Don Mason
SC USSSA Baseball State Director
