[Basketball]

{Coach's Packet}

First off, a big thank you for choosing to play with MSP this weekend. We know there are many choices on where to play each weekend and it is our goal to do everything in our power to make this a memorable experience for your team. All of our tournaments will be USSSA and we ask every team be sanctioned with USSSA by going to www.usssa.com. We will also need ALL teams to have their rosters online prior to playing in the event. It will be your responsibility to have your roster online with the correct players playing that weekend. Any teams that do not have their roster online will be asked to hand deliver a paper roster each weekend. In addition, the USSSA online system cannot award any USSSA points to your team for their placing in the event without that roster online. Once your roster is posted online, the system will retroactively award the points from previous events.

At each park there will be a designated spot to check in and you will be notified prior to playing where that check in will be. We will need all teams to make sure they have paid us prior to playing your first game. We can't reiterate how important it is to have a team representative check in prior to playing. Please go to www.playmsp.com to get our tournament rules for this tournament.

The staff at MSP wants to make sure your experience with us is dedicated to putting the players first in everything that we do. It is our goal to provide everyone with an atmosphere that is condusive to youth athletics. This includes good sportsmanship by coaches, fans, and players and will not tolerate anything different.  

Roster Rules

Players are allowed to be on only one roster per grade. Example: 7th Grade player can play 7th Grade (one team) and 8th Grade (one team); A player may not be on teams in separate divisions of the same grade (6th Grade Division I and 6th Grade Division II).

We ask that all players on your team be listed on your online roster at www.usssa.com. When you check-in, you will be asked to verify your roster from this online version. If your roster has not been placed online, you will be required to submit a roster before play begins. If this is the case, please download this printable roster and bring it with you to the event.

Gate Fee

For basketball tournaments MSP will charge a gate fee at the door. We will only charge adults aged 16 or older (15 & Under is in free). The daily fee will be $5 per person (State and Specialty Tournaments could be more).

Change of Venue Notification

There may be occasions, such as, but not limited to, inclement weather, facility setbacks, scheduling problems not the fault of MSP, and other acts of nature, that require MSP to reschedule tournament games to other nearby parks.  MSP policy is to play all tournaments despite such unfortunate setbacks.  MSP will do everything in its power to notify you well in advance of such re-scheduling.  Upon receiving such notification of rescheduled games at nearby parks, your team may withdraw from the scheduled tournament, but you must do so prior to 72 hours of the first scheduled game.  If you fail to withdraw from the tournament prior to the 72 hour period, your team will not be entitled to a refund or any other remedy.
