Effective 2017: All umpires who register with USA Softball must complete and pay for a background check. This includes all umpires who will work recreation, travel and tournament games. If you have had a back ground check with any other organization, you will still be required to have a background check done through USA Softball. Click on the link below --Back Ground Check--.
At USA Softball, we honor umpires for their years of service and expertise through a variety of Umpire Award programs. Whether through our Medals and Elite Umpire Programs, the National Indicator Fraternity, WBSC Certification or the ultimate honor with the National Softball Hall of Fame, no other organization has this various assortment of rewards programs for their umpire.

This is a Slow Pitch Women's tounament with teams from law enforcement that travel to play softball from all around North Carolina.
This year the event raised money for the Special Olympics. The support staff from the Special Olympics entered a team and there was an added game featuring two Special Olympics teams.
The event was won by the Durham SWAT team.
ASA/USA Softball has supported this event the last two years and look forward to being involved for this worthy cause for years to come!
