An official USSSA role

Directors carry the USSSA name. You oversee events, verify rosters, settle disputes, and uphold the rules that keep the game fair. Every director on the platform is recognized in the USSSA network.

Background-checked, every cycle

USSSA requires every director to pass an NCSI background check before officiating, and renew it every year. We coordinate it for you — submit once, clear in three business days, status appears on your credential card automatically.

Your phone is the verifier tool

At the field, scan any player's QR code with your phone camera. Two seconds later you see: name, division, age verified, membership active. No birth certificates ever shown. No paperwork to track.

Director-only benefits

Discounts at every major sponsor (Rawlings, Marucci, GameChanger, Blast Motion), USSSA-only gear deals, and recognition at championship events. The credential card on your phone is your access pass.

Path to credential

Four steps. Three business days.

USSSA issues Director credentials

We don’t create Director IDs on this site — USSSA chooses every director personally. That keeps the credential meaningful at the field: when a parent or opposing coach sees the USSSA Director badge, they know it was vetted and approved by USSSA, not auto-issued. Apply at USSSA, then come back here to connect your ID.
