Managers were emailed last night to sign up for skills. (A specific time frame) If your manager has not passed this to the actual head coach, please contact them or email mailto:[email protected].
Managers were also emailed AND texted last week with their 3 coach passes. If your manager has not sent you a pass and you are a coach, you are not one of the 3.
We have a Facebook group named USSSA Southern Nationals we have been updated with updates also at times to follow if that will be helpful
Remember the gate is CASHLESS and cannot accept cash. You can buy your weekend pass early. The link is on the website. https://txfastpitch.usssa.com/event/usssa-southern-nationals-8u-9u-10u-12u-14u-2/
This is your first reminder to have all players on the online USSSA roster or the guest player list. NO exemptions. No player will be added after your team starts playing.

🥎 SOUTHERN NATIONALS — HEADS UP, FAMILIES! 🥎
We've got a TON of exciting stuff coming your way for Southern Nationals, and you can find all the details right here: 👉 https://www.texaschampionships.com/
⚠️ Important Travel Notice:
The FIFA World Cup will be happening during this same timeframe, which means hotel availability across the DFW Metroplex will be tighter than usual.
What you need to know:
You have the freedom to choose where your team stays — we don't lock you into a block.
If you run into any issues or need help navigating lodging in Plano, our friends at the City of Plano Housing Office have your back: 📧 [email protected]
🚨 Bottom Line: Book now — don't wait. Rooms will go fast with World Cup crowds in town, and we don't want anyone scrambling the week of the event.
Can't wait to see everyone in Plano — it's going to be a great one! 💪
