USA SOFTBALL ANNOUNCES UNIFORM PROGRAM WITH CHAMPRO

COACHES NEEDED TO ASSIST ATHLETES PREPARE FOR THE NEXT LEVEL

USA Softball is unveiling a new program (HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAM) that will assist in identifying potential players for the USA Softball National Teams and we invite you to participate. Initially, we are inviting potential coaches for U13-U14-U15-U16-U17 and U18 age groups.

We are seeking coaches who are interested in helping young ladies in the above age groups achieve their dreams. The Tennessee program will consist of an East and West division in order to eliminate travel concerns.

The goal is to start the program as soon as possible and we are inviting interested coaches to participate. If interested, please send your name, team name, age group and email address to ellisjmha@charter.net or johnsoncitytnasa@gmail.com.

MY TEAM HAS PLAYERS FROM DIFFERENT STATES, WHERE DO I REGISTER?

A team must register with the local association in which the greatest number of its’ players reside, and this number must be retained for the remainder of the season. IE--if your team is based out of TN but the majority of your players' addresses are in KY, then your team would need to register in KY. If your team plans to play Championship level events (state, nationals, etc) then your team would follow KY qualification process and gain approval from the KY State Commissioner).
