ABOUT US

USSSA and East Coast Events have been hosting youth Fastpitch events for over 20 years. At USSSA, our primary focus is to provide a competitive environment that focuses on child safety. We are one of the only sanctioning bodies in the US that requires ALL coaches and umpires to be Safe Sport compliant. While this isn’t the easy way to do business, it is the only way.

We pride ourselves on our partnerships with some of the nicest complexes in the United States.

Our competitive environment is meant for athletes, and it helps them improve their efficiency and learn teamwork and team building.

We encourage sportsmanship to develop a more enjoyable competitive environment. One of our core priorities is maintaining a respectful atmosphere, and sportsmanship plays a vital role in this. We believe in teamwork, respect, honor, discipline, kindness, inclusion, resilience, and perseverance.

We believe sports build a strong foundation for a better life through teamwork and competition. Sports activities produce chemicals in the brain that reduce stress and depression.

It not only has emotional benefits but also helps improve social life. Playing on a team helps develop many of the social skills one needs in life. It allows you to learn to be cooperative, selfless, and helpful. It also helps make new friends and build their social circle.

There is another significant factor in team sports, such as fastpitch. It is the breeding ground for leadership traits. Studies have revealed a correlation between sports participation and leadership qualities. With the opportunity to train, try, lose, or win together. People involved in physical sports are more likely to develop a “team mindset.” That team mindset leads to strong leadership qualities over time.

Hence, playing sports can uplift confidence and improve self-esteem. As strength, skills, and stamina increase through playing sports, self-image will also improve.
