SPA and SSUSA to Run 4 Joint Tournaments in 2023

Jan. 1, 2023

     The Softball Players Association (SPA) and Senior Softball USA (SSUSA) are excited to announce four tournaments that teams can use to qualify for both the SPA and SSUSA World Championships.

     Here are the 2023 joint tournaments:

- Music City Classic - Nashville, TN, March 18-19 (SSUSA Runs)

- Glen Burnie Classic - Glen Burnie, MD, May 3-7 (SPA Runs)

- Twitty Men's Classic - Nashville, TN, May 11-14 (SPA Runs)

- Battle of the Roses - York, PA, June 17-18 (SSUSA Runs)

     These tournaments will use the rules of the association running the tournament. Teams must inform the association running the tournament whether they want to use the tournament to qualify for the organization not running the tournament.

     For example, here's how it would work:

     Teams playing in the Glen Burnie Classic, run by SPA, would tell SPA that they want to also qualify for the SSUSA World Championships. After the tournament, SPA will forward the rosters of those teams to SSUSA.

     Teams (and their players) wishing to use their roster for both the SPA and SSUSA World Championships must register with both associations and meet their respective requirements.
