Manager Meeting

• Until is it safe to gather in groups of more than 10, SSUSA will forgo all manager meetings.  All information pertaining to a specific tournament will be sent to managers via email before the tournament begins. A copy of the Manager Notes will be available in paper copy.

• Managers will receive their updated rosters with the Manager Instructions.  It is up to the manager to let the Director know if there are any changes at the field before the team begins playing.

• We will be sending managers new Team Waiver Forms that each player will need to sign before playing, saying they understand softball is a game of risk and that there is always a risk in group activities of contracting viruses or other illnesses.
