A Message From USA Softball of Massachusetts
2024 USA Softball Player Registration
USA Softball of Massachusetts will continue to use Register USA Softball to register your players for the 2024 season. The Register USA Softball site is schedule be available August 24th for JO Youth registration. Here’s additional information for Recreational League Registrations and Travel Team Registrations.
USA Softball of Massachusetts – Fall Softball Tournaments
Check out our fall softball tournaments hosted by USA Softball of Massachusetts in September. Our events begin the weekend of September 9 through September 30th. All tournaments can be found on the USA Softball of New England tournament website. There’s still time to sign up your 12U, 14U, 16U, & 18U teams.
Fall Tournament Rosters
All players need to be individually registered with USA Softball before playing in any fall tournaments. Open rosters will be allowed for the fall tournament season. This means teams will be able to move players from team to team during the fall season only. Players are not allowed to play on two different teams during the same weekend. This will allow teams to evaluate players and try different rosters before the 2024 travel season begins.
Fast Pitch Nation – Insurance Advertisement
We would like to address an email advertisement for organizations to begin purchasing insurance via Fast Pitch Nation. USA Softball of Massachusetts feels we need to address many incorrect/false statements made by Fast pitch Nation regarding USA Softball Registration/Insurance policies.
USA Softball of Massachusetts in no way is discouraging organizations from purchasing additional insurance but we want all our members to understand they are 100% covered when teams are individually registered with USA Softball to play in any event sanctioned (or not) by USA Softball.
FPN - Just getting an additional insured certificate for the tournament host or the town where you practice should be easy. Too often it is not. Plus, additional insured certificates should be valid for the full term of your policy and not for just a single event which is the way USA Softball's insurance provider has been issuing certificates, which force the team to go back time after time to get certificates.
- The purchasing of insurance with USA Softball is a simple process and is included when you register your players. Insurance binders can be printed out by your team administrator at any time.
- Adding a location or additional insurer to your binder is just a few clicks of a mouse away and is always done at NO CHARGE.
- At no time does USA Softball of Massachusetts “force” organization to “go back time after time” to get certificates of insurance to play in tournaments or any events sponsored by any other organization.
FPN - Our Team Insurance program offers industry-standard team insurance valid for ANY organization's events such as PlayFPN, USSSA, USA Softball, Triple Crown, Alliance, plus practices, scrimmages, etc.
- USA Softball of Massachusetts continues to offer both player registration and player insurance when teams individually register their summer travel teams. Regardless of any other additional insurance you may want to purchase, you’re completely covered when you register your players with USA Softball of Massachusetts.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact our area commissioners Walter Babcock (usasoftballw.babcock@gmail.com), Peter Fernandes (peterusasoftballofma@gmail.com) or our state commissioners Phil McElroy (usasoftballma@gmail.com).
