PLAYERS and COACHES Please Read,......

We appreciate your participation in this event. We value your patronage to USSSA.  

Therefore............

If at any time during a game in this event, you feel the need to speak with a director, please inform your umpire. He has been instructed to grant your request. This request needs to come from the coach.                                           Do NOT let the game continue. We cannot fix anything after play has continued or a subsequent pitch is thrown. This does not mean anything other than the fact that you will be able to speak with a director. Erroneous rule interpretations may be corrected. Judgement calls are always at the discretion of the Umpire.

Thank you and Good Lick to all of you and Thank you for playing USSSA!

Suncoast | SR12MUCE
Suncoast | SRMAASE
