Welcome to AAD/USSSA′s home on the web!
AAD/USSSA is dedicated to promoting, organizing and facilitating amateur athletic baseball programs to the youth community of the region.  Founded in 1990 as a non-profit 501-c-4 organization and affiliated with the USSSA national governing body of amateur sports, we hope you find this web site and our programs beneficial to your recreational goals.  
 

The spring of 2010 marks the 16th year of offering a competitive youth baseball league and tournament program and 20th season overall. During our first baseball season we offered a 12u division and consisting of 5 teams at the old Albuquerque Sportsplex.  Today there are regularly 50+ baseball teams in 4 divisions of league play and 6 tournaments with single year age divisions of play utilizing numerous facilities in the Albuquerque area.   

Over the last twenty years AAD/USSSA has grown considerably in its scope, depth and appeal. As we head into the year 2010, almost 1800 area youths will be participating in baseball, league and tournament events.  This program is an affiliate of the national USSSA organization offering our members extended regional and national competition.  In recent years, our baseball program alumni have filled most of the roster spots on many of the area’s high school teams.  Many of our athletes have gone on to play college baseball and several are currently participating professionally.

AAD/USSSA sole mission is to provide organized competitive baseball programs to the community and it is organized entirely by volunteers.

We wish you, your children and all our participants every success both on and off the field. We pledge our support as you enter into what we hope is a positive experience; it is ultimately you, who will make your program successful.


“The one constant through all the years, has been baseball.  America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.  It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.  But baseball has marked the time.  This field, this game, is part of our past…. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again.” James Earl Jones, Field of Dreams

Coaches,
 
It is important to discuss the relationship between Little League and AAD/USSSA in the Albuquerque area.  It has always been (and will remain) the policy of the AAD/USSSA program to encourage all its participants to also participate in their local Little League programs.  While one of the cornerstones of this program is to allow the team managers to recruit, organize and coach their team as they see fit (for the most part), I have always discouraged managers from prohibiting their players from participating in Little League programs. 
 
We have always scheduled games on Sunday’s so there is no conflict with kids participating in both programs.  There are enough facilities in the area (in some age divisions) to schedule Saturday games but it is my choice not to conflict with the Little League programs.
 
Think big picture here . . . . . where do club players first come from . . . . Little League.  AAD/USSSA doesn’t offer 4u-7u programs for a reason.  Those age kids have not developed to the point where their skill set exceeds the daily challenge that Little League offers and if you want the club programs to offer the most competition and challenge for your team, Little League is where those skills are first realized.  Little League programs have hundreds of dedicated volunteers whose goal is to expose, nurture and develop kids in baseball.  I (personally) don’t want to dilute the quality of this program or become a sanctuary for the less experienced kids whose parents had a “run in” with their local Little League program or who aren’t willing to donate time doing field maintenance, selling candy or working a concessions stand. 
 
Some of the benefits of Little League participation for club teams:
·         Additional practice time for kids – conditioning is always a challenge in the spring
·         Additional game situation development – when has an extra 6-8 at bats a week been bad?
·         When other kids see club players, playing Little League, they develop faster
·         It allows kids to develop at defensive positions not utilized by their club team
 
The only caveat with playing in both programs is pitching.  Please be aware of your players who pitch on their Little League teams and don’t over work them.
 
It is still (and should be) a highlight of every 12 year old to represent their neighborhood Little League during their district and state All-Star activities.  Please encourage your kids, especially through age 12, to sign up for their local Little League program this spring before the deadline passes.
 
Thank you,
Dana
