Dear Parents and Coaches

To help clear up some confusion, below is our berth policy for teams that win berths in tournaments

By winning a berth, (either winning a USSSA tournament or finishing high enough and the teams above you are already qualified) your team is frozen in USSSA. This means that your child cannot play in a USSSA tournament with any other team. The only exception is that he could play in a higher age group with another team. If your regular team is not playing and another team asks your son to play, IF IT IS A USSSA TOURNAMENT, HE CANNOT PLAY.

A manager may  drop up to 3 players from his frozen roster during the season. He can also add up to 3 players.  He can do this on his online roster or in writing to either Craig Ciandella or John Gleason. Once a player is dropped from a team, he cannot return to that team until after the World Series in July. Remember that this is the manager's decision, a parent can not release their child from a team.

These rules are not intended to keep your son from playing. The intent is to insure that all teams participating have a fair chance to win a berth in their age group.

Remember, these rules apply whether or not your team plans to go to the USSSA World Series and are in effect until after the World Series when the new age groups take effect. If you have any questions, please call the State office at (714) 848-1850
