POLK COUNTY, FL. • The Crown Jewel of Senior Softball enters its 16th year here in 2022, pitting the best of the best on the softball diamonds.
There simply is no other tournament in the sport that comes close to the SSUSA Original Tournament of Champions: FREE QUALITY rings for winners (from Jostens - maker of championship rings for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL), bats for MVPs, a gala sit-down banquet for 1,500 players and their families – and that does not even include the hitting clinics, skills contests and the All-Star Game!
This year’s tournament will be held February 9 - 13 and only winners of qualifying tournament are invited. In short, it’s the tournament for champions, only. Second-place teams stay home. This is the original Tournament of Champions and it’s only for those teams that have been previously crowned king of the hill at a Senior Softball USA sanctioned tournament during the 2021 season. Teams that played in the 2021 TOC will also be invited to the 2022 TOC.
“The TOC here offers the most elite event in the sport to celebrate winners of the top tournaments in the country,” said Terry Hennessy, chief executive officer of SSUSA. “No one offers a tournament that even comes close.”
“It’s a battle of tournament champions taking on tournament champions to determine which team is truly the top team of the year,” he said. “There’s really nothing like it and that’s why teams go all out to come back each year.”
The Tournament of Champions handsomely rewards its winners who received free championship rings and each player earns a TOC certificate. In addition, the most valuable players in each division win a bat.
