     Senior Softball USA has reached an agreement with Southwest Airlines to offer players discounts on fares to tournaments – and 15% more points for Rapid Reward members.

     “For years, Senior Softball USA has partnered with host hotels around the country to offer discounted stays for teams traveling to tournaments,” said Fran Dowell, SSUSA executive director.  “Now we are happy to be able to offer airline discounts to our players as well.”

     For select Tournament of Champion Qualifiers, players will simply need to visit the tournament page, scroll down until they reach the part discussing discounted flights, click on the ‘Click Here’ link and book the flight to the qualifying airport.

     Players must go through the link on the tournament page to receive the discount.
