Global Sports will offer multiple World Series Qualifiers in the Midwest and World Series events in July. Global Sports will provide more teams an opportunity to play in a World Series event within a reasonable driving distance. Global Sports World Series will have a 7 game guarantee.
Because of the growth of USSSA Baseball, there is a greater demand for events than USSSA can supply. USSSA created this opportunity for teams to stay closer to home and create life long experiences without the long distance travel and additional funds spent.
