Both! The coach needs to register their team with both USSSA and West Texas Fastpitch. All players must be on their team’s USSSA and West Texas Fastpitch rosters.

Do I need to register my player individually?

Yes! Once your coach has registered your team and entered the team’s roster, you will receive an invite link to register your child individually with West Texas Fastpitch and USSSA.

Can our team play up a division?

Yes! USSSA allows players to play up one division.

Can my daughter play in more than one age division?

Yes! Players may play up 1 division in USSSA.

She will need to be listed on both USSSA and West Texas Fastpitch rosters.

Players can not play on more than one team in the same age division.

Can players be on multiple teams in the same age division?

No. Players cannot “guest play” for another team in the same age division within the league. Once they are registered with West Texas Fastpitch, they are locked into the team roster they registered with.

Yes, the dates align for players to play in both leagues!

The Select league runs from March to May.

The Recreational league runs from May to June.

I would like to coach. Can I bring (protect) 7 players?

The select league is a team-registration league, so you can have as many players on your team as you like.

All players must be listed on your USSSA roster and registered with West Texas Fastpitch. Teams must be registered and have insurance through USSSA.

Can players pay individually?

No. The select league is a team registration and pays as a team.

Most select teams have a team account set up for fundraising, with a team treasurer managing the funds.
