Pin Trading |
|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: Pin Trading has become a huge tradition at USSSA World Series. Players, coaches, and parents will have opportunities to trade pins throughout the week including Player Social & Skills Competition. Team pins are not mandatory but certainly adds to the fun of this special event.
We do encourage every team to bring some small item like pins to trade with the other players and teams. If you decide not to go the pin route, we suggest contacting your local chamber of commerce or visitor’s bureau about obtaining items to trade. We will also have a team parade and many teams will bring items such as beads or other things for the players to throw to the crowd. This is not mandatory, but it also adds to the fun for the players. We can assist with getting beads if your team is from out of state and does not have access to items to use during the parade.
