In order to participate in any USA Softball event in Kansas City, teams must be registered (sanctioned) and insured with either our USA Softball insurance or another type of acceptable Softball team insurance. Registration / Insurance runs from Sept 1st thru Aug 31st yearly. In addition, all teams must ensure their Coaches have completed their Background Check & SafeSport certifications found on RegisterUSASoftball.com
