USSSA Directors,
On Friday May 1st, USSSA released the return to play guidelines, procedures and recommendations for all sports and directors. Please visit; http://www.usssa.com/coronavirus to understand what is required from directors, leagues, tournaments and events.
To: USSSA State Directors
Subject: 2020 Youth Sports Season Extended to Aug. 31
We hope all is well with the entire USSSA membership, considering these extraordinary circumstances, and that you are staying safe and healthy. Everyone has had to make adjustments recently. Please know we are hard at work here at the USSSA National Office, so we will be ready to kick-start all operations and events once we are assured the coast is clear to return to everyday life.
2020 Season Extended
After lengthy consideration, the USSSA National Office has decided to extend the 2020 season for all USSSA youth sports that have an original season end date of July 31, 2020. We are extending this season by one month, through Aug. 31, 2020. This will give every team as many as five extra weekends in August to still fit in events as part of the 2020 season.
USSSA State Directors all over America are beginning to add August events to their 2020 schedules, where possible. Event opportunities may vary by locality, based on variables such as facility availability, and all decisions to add events rest with the local Directors, who individually must weigh their local options regarding more events. Please know that everyone is working hard to explore additional event opportunities and secure the facilities needed to bring back the crack of the bat and the pop of the glove across this great country of ours.
Also important to know:
Team Insurance Also Extended
Also in conjunction with the extension of the 2020 youth sports season by one month, USSSA team insurance is being extended for one month – until 12:01 a.m. on 9/1/2020. For any team with a current USSSA Team Insurance expiration date of 8/1/2020, the expiration date for that coverage is being revised to 9/1/2020 and no premium will be charged for the month of August 2020. Your team certificate will be updated automatically and available on your Team Management page at www.usssa.com.
If you have any questions about any of the above developments, please contact your Director.
Again, everyone please stay healthy and safe. We all cannot wait to take the field again. And when the time comes, let’s all be ready.
Take care,
Donny DeDonatis III
Chief Executive Officer

USSSA National Headquarters has been working diligently on the evolution of director processes to improve both efficiency and transparency between the director and USSSA HQ. A big part of this transparency and efficiency lies within the Director Dashboard. The Director Dashboard will be a multi-phase roll-out with the first phase geared towards director billing based on the actual data collected. Through the director-billing tool, USSSA HQ Accounting will begin to implement the improved billing process on March 18, 2019. The initial Statement of Billing will reflect the balance on your Director Dashboard as of March 15, 2019. Please take the next two weeks to review your Director Dashboard using the following criteria:
Next Phase:
The procedure for State Director Billing will be as follows:
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Ultimately, the evolution of the Director Dashboard will help in servicing our directors at every level of the Association. The director-billing tool is a necessary step in creating transparency and clarity in director related accounting processes.
An update has been made for DC2 Create Team to currently function.
Some users will see this update immediately, but may take up to 11 pm EST tonight before the update goes into effect.
If the process still shows a “blank” image after clicking save, please shut down and restart your computer and you may be able to process the update immediately by doing that.
There could be some additional issues in saving a credit card to your account if not already done. This issue is still being looked at.
Just a quick update on the Director Finances Project for everyone. This project will begin public testing very shortly, but this update is to give you a little background and insight into what will be going into this first release.
Primary Focus: Transition from an invoicing system of tracking to a real-time transaction management tool. This feature allows all transactions to be compiled in one location allowing a director to have one balance with USSSA and manage all transactions within this singular tool.
