CALL FOR GSWS COACHES
Hey WESA Members!
Have you ever thought about coaching in the Gay Softball World Series (GSWS)? This year the GSWS is in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Monday, October 14th to Saturday, October 19th. That may seem like a long way away, but planning is already underway, and the first step is finding coaches! .
WESA is eligible to send the following teams to GSWS, subject to WESA player and coach interest:
- One All Association E division team (player NQ of 8 or less);
- One All Association D division team (player NQ of 12 or less);
- One All Association C division team (player NQ of 15 or less); and
- Legends C and/or D division teams (players must be turning 50 or older in 2024).
NOTE: It is the player NQ that determines eligibility for GSWS divisions, not the WESA tier the player participates in. Also, you don’t need to be eligible to play in a division to coach a team in that division.
As a coach, you have the authority and responsibility to organize your team, recruit your players, and manage it for the tournament.
If coaching one of the GSWS teams WESA is eligible to send interests you, please take note of the following important information:
Important Dates:
- April 1: Coaches Expressions of Interest must be submitted to the WESA Commission See page 53 of the WESA Governing Manual for details on submitting an expression of interest to coach.
- April 15: WESA Commission announces coach selection
- May 26: Slam! 11 BBQ GSWS Fundraiser at Junction
- June 1: Rosters finalized by coaches.
The WESA GSWS Policy contains all the details and is part of the WESA Governing Manual which can be found on the website at https://www.wesa.net/wesa/WESAGoverningManual
