Kansas USSSA Basketball

Host a USSSA Event

For Tournament Directors and Event Operators, USSSA is extending an invitation to join an expanding national organization. In 2008, USSSA Basketball had 10,000+ teams sanctioned for participation in various leagues, qualifying tournaments, and Regional and National Championship events.

Kansas USSSA is currently looking for tournament directors and event operators to host USSSA events. Every event is a State and National Championship qualifying event. If you are interested in hosting a USSSA event, please contact B.J. Larson at 913-207-6871 or by email at bj@playmsp.com.

Advantages of the USSSA Program

USSSA.com/ISTS Menu

Comprehensive team and event management website dedicated to all things USSSA. This website can be used to help manage your team’s information including official roster, scores and events (entered by the tournament director), team photo, team message board, and statistics entered into a national database and compared against events from across the nation.
The USSSA.com website is also a great ally to tournament and league managers. This website can be used to track entries and payments, schedule your events, and post results and standings. These results and standings are automatically entered into the national database for State and National rankings.

Multiple Levels of Competition

USSSA offers multiple divisions of play for all events, including National Championship Events. The Division I level (top level of play) was the home of athletes on some of the best teams in the nation, such as Greg Oden and Mike Conley. More importantly, there are opportunities for teams to find balanced competition with the creation of Division II and Division III (rec level teams).

Post-season Opportunities

USSSA offers multiple levels of qualifying and Post-Season Championship Opportunities:

State Championships: Kansas USSSA offers State Championship events in all age groups, and all levels of competition: Division I, Division II, and Division III.
National Invitational Tournament Events: These events are Regional Championship Events that are offered at multiple venues across the country. Kansas City will host one of these events in the Summer of 2009.
National Championship Events: Annually, Indiana (boy’s) and Florida (girl’s) host the USSSA National Championship tournaments. These events are hosted for Division I and Division II teams. Multiple Division III National Championship events are hosted on a regional basis, giving USSSA the ability to provide a National Championship experience with balanced competition for all teams.
