"We are not a glum lot. We absolutely insist on having fun!"Complete CSSA BY LAWS Clean and Sober Softball Association (a.k.a. the C.S.S.A.) produces clean and sober events for people recovering from addiction and codependency. The CSSA is dedicated to the goal of expanding the opportunity of sober sports to those in recovery, as well as carrying the message of hope and fun to those still suffering. The CSSA is the he first known professional organizations to blend sobriety and sports into a seamless package of 'good clean fun'. Although not directly affiliated with any one specific 12 step recovery program, the CSSA operates with respect to the traditions and principles of the original 12-step recovery programs. The CSSA present a wide variety of activities that reinforce the sense of community shared by sober people and their personal support group. The CSSA offers a ready source of friendly fellowship that can be especially useful for newly sober and/or recently relocated people. For more than 20 years, Sober Softball has operated independently as C.S.S.L-eagues North, East, and Central, with no professional staff or management. Acting as an administrative force the CSSA is taking an active role in growing the sober sports community state and region wide. This concept began over Labor Day weekend 2001, where the commissioners from the three major leagues worked together to pull off the first ever Sober State tournament. With the success of this event the commissioners continued to work collectively to bring the leagues together under one association. The CSSA Board of Directors is the governing agency within the association where policy, rules of play, and administrative functions are performed. The Board of Directors consists of six non-voting members; Executive Director, Vice Director, Secretary, Treasurer, Umpire in Charge, and Rules and Ethics Director. The association employs outside it's ranks for bookkeeping service, yet all other functions are handled internally. For a complete copy of current CSSA By Laws click HERE.
