All,

Just a reminder, USA Softball has been following the developing COVID-19 pandemic as the safety and well-being of the USA Softball community continues to be a top priority for USA Softball. USA Softball will make a determination by June 1 of the status of the 2020 USA Softball National Championship Finals and the 2020 USA Softball Junior Olympic (JO) Cup, which take place beginning in mid-July and run through the beginning of September.

Please understand that this situation is fluid, and you should expect further updates as they become available.

Thank you all for what you do and please stay safe!

Sincerely,

Rich Cress I Managing Director of Membership Services

USA Softball

We all have had many questions from teams, parents etc about when we may be able to host tournaments again in NC.  With Governor Roy Cooper's Executive Order today (March 23) concerning large gatherings, we will be unable to host events thru the weekend of April 18,19.  His order today restricts gatherings of 50 or more people.  It amended an earlier Executive Order that restricted gatherings to 100 people or more.  We encourage everyone to please head the advice of state and national leaders concerning this COVID-19 pandemic. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC)  We need to do our part in the softball community to help slow the growth of this virus.  We will have an update next month concerning our tournaments and when we may be able to begin our USA Softball of NC schedule for 2020.  We must make sure that when we do begin to play that the players have a safe environment.  

We are happy to announce that Diamond Star Events have sanctioned their NC tourneys with USA Softball. We are proud to have Ben McKinney and his organization join our USA Softball of NC family.  We will add their camps/tournaments to our website soon.  You can also visit their website at www.diamondstarevents.net.
