USSSA Announces High School Elite Program
The new USSSA 15u – High School Varsity program is tremendous. USSSA has teamed up with the Amateur Baseball Report (ABR), BEST Baseball, and Baseball Clearinghouse. Both BEST Baseball and Baseball Clearinghouse are Regional Directors for ABR, and bring a wealth of experience to the program. ABR, BEST, and Baseball Clearinghouse will work together to bring the top teams in the country together in late July for the USSSA World Championships.
The World Championships will feature the top 32 teams in the country at both the 16u and High School Varsity level. You can earn a berth by qualifying thru one of the listed ABR Scouted Tournaments or by an at-large berth. The ABR Scouted Tournaments will be held in over 15 states and played on top college and university fields, such as: The University of Alabama, The University of Arkansas, Auburn University, Northwestern, Tulane, The University of Dayton, The University of Michigan, Mississippi State, and many other quality fields around the county.
The World Championships will consist of an ABR Scout Day, 4 games of pool play, and a double elimination tournament. College coaches and scouts will be in attendance.
The Summer International Championship will include 48-60 teams from all over the world. We have received confirmation from Japan, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Russia, Canada, and others. To qualify for the Summer International Championship you will need to win a Crystal Lake World Series Qualifying tournament or receive an at-large berth.
The Summer International Championship will consist of 5 games of pool play followed by a double elimination tournament, and the opportunity to play against international competition. A separate ABR ID Camp will be held during the event.
