Olathe Girls Softball Association 2nd Annual Hall of Fame Classic

WELCOME TO THE HALL OF FAME TOURNAMENT! 

1. A coach must check in prior to your first game. We will verify your USA registration, insurance, and ensure you have at least 2 coaches who have passed their background check and are SafeSport certified (although this should be done for any adult you have working in the dugout). If you have not registered with USA Softball yet this year there will be a $30 registration fee you will need to pay when checking in.  When you check in we will also verify that your roster is online and you will receive two game balls.

2. Everyone will pay at the gate. A Coach can then bring up to 3 paid gate passes to the check in area (bring them all at once preferably) and you will be reimbursed and receive your weekend coaches passes (up to 3). This must be done on Saturday. There will be no weekend reimbursements on Sunday. Gate is $6 per day for adults and $3 per day for Kids and Seniors.  Cash only. Anyone who refuses to pay gate, treats gate workers with disrespect, or enters the facility without paying gate will be asked to leave the complex.

3. Check in for teams on Saturday will be at OGSA 151^st St. Complex in the office at the back of the park near the rest rooms. Check in for teams at Lone Elm Complex will occur at the covered table area in the middle of the complex. 

4. Rules for 10C and 12C are below.  Rules for 8U are viewable under the document downloads.

Come join Olathe Girls Softball Association as we induct our Class of Hall of Fame members.  HOF induction ceremonies on Friday evening prior to the tournament.  Special events throughout the weekend.
