We would first like to take a moment to thank those of you that contributed to the PR Fund as well as the PR Taskforce. Without your support and contributions, we would not have been able to move forward with phase 1 of this project. Watch for more details as we fundraise for Phase 2. This accomplishment is an important step in reaching our 10 year target of USSSA Members being the schools of choice for swim lessons by 2033.

We are excited to now have branding that reflects the professionalism and modern approach we see from each of you everyday.
