With Iowa easing restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 virus, it is critical our teams, managers, coaches, directors and events strictly adhere to the new return-to-play models we have established for USSSA-sanctioned events.  This is for the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, family members and other supporters, which is our No. 1 priority.

Please click on this link http://usssa.com/coronavirus to review the USSSA return-to-play models for both practices and tournaments.  We emphatically stress that these guidelines, procedures and recommendations do not replace or supersede any protocols or restrictions outlined by your state or local authorities.  Everyone must continue to follow your local or state guidelines for facilities and events.

Parents/guardians of youth players are now required to sign a new “POST COVID-19 USSSA Waiver.”  Details of the waiver may be reviewed at http://usssa.com/coronavirus and the actual signing process is done by logging in to the individual’s guardian account on https://www.usssa.com/login.

This waiver must be signed for any player to be eligible to now participate in USSSA-sanctioned events.  Players who do not have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian for youth players will be moved off of their roster and into a “pending” status.  Once the new waiver is signed, the player will be returned to their team’s official playing roster.
