For those teams playing at SHORTY HOWELL PARK, we just had a chance to evaluate the fields and have pushed back the start times to give us additional time to work on them in the morning.
Please check the updated schedule here: https://baseball.exposureevents.com/234608/southern-sports-summer-shootout/schedule
14u games will be 1:30 in length.
For those teams at LANIER POINT PARK, we expect no delays to the posted bracket schedule.
Thanks and good luck tomorrow!
Following the lightning delay, play is about to resume at Lanier Point. Thank you.

PLEASE make sure that this card has correct information on it BEFORE signing it. Changes are not made after these cards are submitted to the onsite director and posted, unless it is a data entry error when posting the information.

Online rosters ARE required to be in our system prior to games beginning on Saturday. See "local" rules for more details.
ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
After this week's event, we will announce the SSP All-Tournament Team from the tournament. Coaches, Umpires, and On-site Directors will have the opportunity to nominate any player on any of the teams in their division. The deadline to submit names will be Monday at 6pm. Coaches can submit names of players from any team in their division. Southern Sports will make the final selections, from the list of nominated players, and the players will be announced mid-week.
