Why aren't teams registering through USSSA right away?

For our inaugural season, we're allowing teams to reserve their spot first. This means you won't pay the annual USSSA registration fee until the tournament has enough committed teams and is confirmed. It's our way of reducing the financial risk for coaches while we build USSSA Fastpitch in Northern California.

USSSA tournaments bring top competition and a family atmosphere every time we play.
