The schedule is live again. With 2 teams dropping, I was able to accommodate some teams with long drives from KY, NE and Chicago. The schedule is final unless there is an error. Several teams have 4 games due to the number of teams in your pool. For those teams, their 4th game with not count in the standings. It will only count for their opponent. I will send an email with specific details. Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend! Prayers and Gratitude for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom! 🇺🇸

Another team dropped. It will be a while for me to redo the schedule bc it affects both O’Fallon and Collinsville. Freeburg isn't affected at this time. Also, if you havent done so, download the USSSA app on your mobile device!

I will be taking the schedule for OFallon and C'ville down temporarily to revise due to a team dropping.
