United States Specialty Sports Association
The USSSA (United States Specialty Sports Association) is a volunteer, sports governing body, non-profit organization based in Kissimmee, Florida. It was founded in 1968, originally in Petersburg, Virginia.
Originally USSSA stood for United States Slow-pitch Softball Association. However, in 1998 USSSA expanded into other sports. Currently USSSA governs 13 sports across the US, Puerto Rico, various US Military bases, and Canada and has a membership of over 3.7 million.
==History==
The USSSA organization was formed after the founder's ideas were turned down at a national softball association meeting. The founders of the organization are Robert Mueller, James DiOrio, Ray Ernst, Frank Ciaccia and Ted Mazza. They used their newly formed organization to implement new developments. These developments include longer fences, 65 foot base paths, a smaller batter's box, widened media coverage, and encouraged greater financial support.〔http://www.sportsknowhow.com/softball/rules/united-states-specialty-sports-association.html〕
Their experimental world tournament in 1968 was a success. There were 50 different teams from 15 states. In 1997, the USSSA became the first multi-sports governing body.〔http://www.sportsknowhow.com/softball/rules/united-states-specialty-sports-association.html〕
